Just seen this in Manchester, truly outstanding, I’m genuinely lost for words. Emma Hawes otherworldly as Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis. An amazing experience in so many ways, wonderful!

I didn’t realise how much I needed Akram Khan’s new production of ‘Giselle’. Truly inspirational and moving. Theatre that dares to be visionary, dark, and silent. It’s reminded me that #theartswillalwayssurvive @AkramKhanLive @belrumore @ENBallet

I had the most beautiful experience watching @ENBallet Giselle at @PalaceAndOpera . To see the classical ballet reimagined by the phenomenal @AkramKhanLive was a memory that will stay with me. Every movement & every moment was a joy to encounter. It was a haunting masterpiece ~x~ pic.twitter.com/BULIxSyFWS

Tremendous opening last night for @DublinDanceFest from @ENBallet with Akram Khan's Giselle. Electric choreography, score, performances from the company of 40 dancers & @rte_co. Class division, oppression, love, betrayal and yearning – all there. #DDF18 https://t.co/xq2jLUmTNv
