    Abstract

    Akram Khan's choreography for Giselle concentrates on the dark, sinister side of this tale about the spirits of dead maidens. The music, by Vincenzo Lamagna, is a recreation of Adolphe Adam's original score.

    The production, which boasts scenery and costumes by Tim Yip, a collaborator of film director Ang Lee, has won praise and awards as one of the best European dance shows.

    Diabolical precision and energy are the hallmarks of Khan's masterly reinterpretation of one of Romantic ballet's quintessential titles, which he endows with a strange and striking beauty.
