We saw it today in Bristol and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen. So original and absorbing. The costumes are beautiful, and the music... So impressive ♥️♥️♥️

It is if you step into a dream and your participate your own dream. Thank you Akram and team to make this dream reallity.

I saw this at the premier in Sept - and I can remember it like it was yesterday. It was so amazing - intense! I congratulate Tamara Rojo on commissioning this piece from the talented Akram Khan - surely the most important & gifted choreographer in the UK, if not the world. The whole company were excellent and I'm sure Tamara was more than proud! And as other people have said a DVD MUST be made of this production as it is too important not to be recorded. Congratulations ENB on this masterpiece!

Saw Akram Khan's utterly amazing Giselle on Saturday evening at Sadlers Wells,London... I cannot imagine how the ENB companay performed so freshly following the matinee show as well ! I have never been so touched by the strength and fragility of a ballet : it was simply breathtaking ; every moment a triumph of sinous movement; daring dancing; and my tears flowed towards the intense climatic end. The sounds,the orchestra, the costumes, the sheeer skill and spirituality of this beautifully haunting and stimulating ballet choreographed so brilliantly by Akram Khan will stay in my mind forever . Please release a DVD ! I have to see this again and again !

[@fulgentius371]

Seen it twice - brilliant!

[@altongrimes]

A profoundly inspired choreographer manifesting an arresting and transformative sensibility and as if from some other world.

I saw it in Manchester and it was amazing! I don't even have words to describe how much it was beautiful :) I even had tears in my eyes. I really really really hope there will be a dvd. I'm so sorry for mistakes of grammar or vocabulary, I'm not a english native speaker so I struggle about expressing my feelings toward this but yeah... It was absolutely mind blowing I totally adore it, dancers were so expressive and music was so so so beautiful with so much feelings, god this is definitely my est experience :)

Mamie nova Cuisine I was at a performance last night that was being filmed so hopefully there will be a dvd!

[@gavingordon7869]

I saw it in London earlier this year. I still fill up remembering. Utter masterpiece.

[@icarrus4u]

I hope it comes to the US... Or like you mentioned a DVD would be a dream come true. Tamara Rojo is a wonderful visionary, Bravo.

[@shenkaed]

Just saw it in London. Yeah, it truly is amazing. First time I ever seen a ballet and it was the second most powerful performance I've seen on stage in all my life.

[@leadpoisoning5898]

Saw this in Bristol this evening, it was utterly entrancing.

[@olafzhh]

yes, a dvd would be nice - go, ENB, go :-)

[@azicat1459]

[@franciscourze2918]

[@zeddnl6514]

Act II looks hunting. Woo! I hope Rojo & Co will film this for prosperity.

[@fionacraig2012]

Danila Sedo can not tell you how desperate I am for the full production on video! It was beyond incredible in the theatre, but so many people would have missed it and I truly don't think once will ever be enough to see that one!

I love classical ballet. I don't agree that it is always relevant to alter classical ballet into what you want it to be to bring it to the audiences of today, I don't have to agree with you, much as i enjoy supporting Yourselves, contemporary ballet will never have the historical BEAUTY of the classical ballet adaptations.

[@emhu2594]

thank god they did mary skeaping's giselle at the coliseum. this is a dumpster fire crack fest, not ballet
