love vanquishes death
It is one of the oldest surviving and most often danced ballets in the world: Giselle – sometimes also referred to as 'the Hamlet of ballet'.
Alongside deception, revenge and forgiveness, pure love plays the main role in this production. Count Albrecht, the male protagonist, is sincere in his feelings for Giselle and overwhelmed by her love and beauty. When Giselle dies of a broken heart after discovering that he is already engaged, Albrecht is left behind distraught with grief.
Respect for tradition is at the forefront of this new production by Rachel Beaujean and Ricardo Bustamante, with sets and costumes by Toer van Schayk. 'The choreography and the composition of the dances are phenomenal. Giselle has no sell-by date. It is timeless, just like the Night Watch', says Rachel Beaujean.
