Akram Khan: Giselle
English National Ballet, Sadler’s Wells, 18th September 2019
Akram Khan’s arresting revision – or reimagining – of Giselle for English National Ballet has captured the public imagination to an extraordinary degree. Premiered in 2016, it has sold out not just across the country but around the world, from Moscow to Chicago; it has been beamed into cinemas and immortalised on DVD. It’s now receiving its second revival at Sadler’s Wells and tickets are like gold dust once again. And deservedly so, for Khan has created an outstanding piece of theatre that deserves the widest possible audience.
