It's one of the greatest ballets of all time
One of the greatest romantic ballets offered a new vision through Akram Khan. In this haunting version, Giselle is a migrant garment factory worker, who dies after discovering her lover Albrecht is betrothed to another. Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis (ghosts of female factory workers who seek revenge for the wrongs done to them in life), summons Giselle from her lifeless body into the realm of death to join the company of the merciless Wilis.
