Overview
Giselle is a very famous classical ballet from 1841. It’s usually performed by very stuffy traditional ballet companies. Luckily for us contemporary dance company Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre has taken this seminal text and ran with it - pushing it in a far stranger direction than anyone would expect. The story is basically about jilted female spirits who rise from their graves at night to seek revenge upon men by dancing them to death. Horror and absurd humour figure heavily in what is a very dirty sexy and brutal piece of contemporary theatre. It has been touring the world pretty much non-stop since it’s 2003 premiere in Dublin and now it’s coming to Carriageworks as part of the Sydney Festival. Lucky us.
