Hot off its sell-out première at the Royal Opera House, Giselle: Remix and its anarchic, punk-reimagining of the classic ballet returns to subvert this timeless story of love, lust, revenge, redemption and forgiveness.
In this retelling, Giselle is a hopeless romantic, raised on a diet of Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore 1990s romcoms, who comes to realise that the real world of queer sex and hookups is a far cry from Hollywood’s happily-ever-after.
What follows is a journey through shame, assimilation, anger, acceptance and—finally—liberation and joy.
