sandik Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I really hope this gets a screening in the US -- I'm very curious about it. Link to comment
vipa Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I just rented the ENB film of Akram Khan's Giselle. It is $7.99 for unlimited viewing over 3 days. Absolutely riveting. The creation of atmosphere, drama and character is fantastic. There was a scene between Giselle and Albrecht in which I could have sworn I heard them talking. The group dancing is beyond powerful. The Willis are primal and scary. I loved it and would jump at the chance to see it live. ENB doesn't tour here, but I'd love an American company to take it on. Link to comment
Drew Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 ENB brought this to Chicago a couple of years back. My sister saw it and described it as "sublime." It's too bad there wasn't a fuller tour or a NY appearance. Link to comment
sappho Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Last time I checked, it was still available on Marquee TV. It's absolutely magnificent. I'd give anything to see it performed live. Link to comment
