Mats Ek Giselle (full)
The acclaimend Swedish choreographer Mats Ek renowned for his modern Reworkings of the classic ballets. In this studio recording of Ek s highly stylised version of Giselle, Ana Laguna dances superby as the barefoot girl who falls madly in love. The traditional, romantic Rhineland village is replaced by a surrealistic landscape, and the supernatural second act is set in the harsh reality of a lunatic asylum, the dancers in straitjackets instead of diaphanous white. Director: Mats Ek Writers: Théophile Gautier (idea) JulesHenri Vernoy de SaintGeorges (libretto) Cast: Luc Bouy, Ana Laguna
