Student Cast Information

Giselle

In classical ballet’s powerful story of love and betrayal, the vulnerable Giselle falls for Albrecht, a betrothed man on the opposite side of the conflict tearing her community apart. Michael Pink reimagines this tragedy into the dark period of wartime 1940s, asking powerful questions about the need for forgiveness and the transcendence of love amongst unimaginable horrors.
