GISELLE
Acclaimed South African choreographer Dada Masilo, who stunned audiences
with her feminist revisions of “Carmen” and “Swan Lake,”
takes on another classic in her distinctive style of African dance and
classical ballet performed at astonishing speed. Masilo’s GISELLE
will be performed at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts,
April 12-14, with music composed by Philip Miller.
In GISELLE a young girl dies after having been betrayed by a man. She
cannot rest in peace and is transformed into a wili, a ghost with a desire
for dance–and revenge.
Also at The Wallis, April 5-7, is another dance concert by L.A. Dance
Project, which is headed by Benjamin Millepied. L.A. Dance Project is
the first dance company to take up residency at The Wallis.
