Dance Consortium presents
Dada Masilo – Giselle (2019)
4 October - 2 November
“Dada Masilo’s reinterpretation of Giselle breathes new life into the classic, creating an exciting work that is socially relevant, politically up to date, and theatrically innovative.”
“Stunning reimagining.”
“Poverty fights a losing battle against privilege. Against this backdrop, her reading of the tragedy is more real and disturbing than any I have seen.”
“Dada Masilo’s take on Gautier’s original 1841 ballet libretto is a powerful retelling of the sorry tale of a girl whose ghost returns to face the man who broke her heart.”
“Vigorous and emotional.”
“Masilo and company unpack this famous story of a wronged woman, establishing a refreshingly black, South African and feminist perspective.”
“Dada Masilo brings her unique interpretation of Giselle to the Lowry as part of a UK tour organised by Dance Consortium, a group committed to showcasing the best international dance from across the globe.”
“A rare quality of spell-binding intensity.”
“A marvel of intelligence and dance craftsmanship. Stunningly conceived and executed.”
“Exhilarating. Bold, brazen, unapologetic and absolutely enrapturing.”
