“A triumph” (Evening Standard), “sensational” (The Stage), “staggeringly beautiful and utterly devastating” (The Sunday Express) – Akram Khan’s Giselle has been hailed as one of the most electrifying works of the past decade.
This bold reimagining of the romantic classic isn’t just something you watch – it’s something youfeel:with every heart-breaking step of the story.
Set in a divided world of migrant Outcasts and exploitative Landlords, Giselle’s love for Albrecht leads to betrayal, heartbreak and vengeance beyond the grave. Can love endure even in death?
Akram Khan’s mesmerising choreography fuses classical ballet,classical Indian dance and contemporary movement.
With haunting visuals by Oscar-winner Tim Yip and a pulsating score by Vincenzo Lamagna, performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic, this is ballet as you’ve never experienced before.
