Having conquered the audience with her personal interpretations of Swan Lake (Romaeuropa 2013) and Carmen (Romaeuropa 2014), with Giselle Dada Masilo continues an artistic focus on the poetic reworking of the great narratives inherited from ballet and classical music as a means to portray the present and go directly to the heart of the audience.
11 dancers will be on stage, along with the Johannesburg dancer and choreographer herself, ready to bring a new energetic piece to life, in which the theme of forgiveness that drives the story of Giselle – who died of heartbreak after discovering that her beloved is promised to another woman – is translated into a story of betrayal, revenge, deceit and suffering.
