Summary
Acclaimed dancer-choreographer Akram Khan reimagines the classic ballet for the 21st century. Giselle has become a former garment worker, while Albrecht is a member of the wealthy factory-owning class. In an abandoned 'ghost factory' haunted by the memory of female migrant workers, many of them victims of industrial accidents, Giselle's desire to break the cycle of violence will lead to her reconciliation with Albrecht and his release from the retributive justice of the Wilis.
