Celebrating 200 years, Shelley’s original gothic novel, Frankenstein, meets Coralli and Perrot’s timeless ballet Giselle in an alchemy only Artistic Director Paul Destrooper dares bring to the stage.
Horror, romance and science fiction are galvanized into a new ballet driven by a score boasting Verdi, Shostakovich, Dukas, Catalani and Adam. Think Corpse Bride meets Frankenstein.
“Very few people are still creating “story ballets”, Destrooper says. “To reach across not just to different cultures but to different generations, it has to make sense.”
