Twirling into the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre to launch the Dublin Dance Festival, a stunning new version of Giselle promises to blow your tutu off. Akram Khan, who we also have to thank for choreographing Kylie’s Showgirl Tour, has teamed up with 40 dancers from the English National Ballet to present an achingly romantic re-imagining of the classic.
As well as Khan’s thought provoking choreography, set and costume design are provided by the Oscar winning Tim Yip, who also brought us Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
