Giselle

Kyiv Modern Ballet

Giselle by Radu Poklitaru is a stylish fusion of bold costumes, inventive stage design, top-tier dancers, and sharp directorial vision. In this contemporary version of the classic ballet, Ukraine’s leading choreographer expresses his deep affection for the original story. His Giselle is a lost child of the modern metropolis — vulnerable, yearning for true love. Like her classical counterpart, she longs for connection and meaning. Although the story ends in tragedy, the performance offers hope, reminding us of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of hardship. A visually stunning and emotionally moving reimagining of a timeless tale.
