GISELLE: REMIX is an anarchic, punk-reimagining of the classic ballet that returns to subvert this timeless story of love, lust, revenge, redemption and forgiveness. From 10 – 27 April 2024 at the Pleasance Theatre (Main House).
The show features a cast led by Jack Sears and a plethora of exciting dancers, choreographed by Royal Ballet soloist Hannah Grennell. Joining them are Kit Green, Jonny Woo and Lavinia Co-op as special guest stars.

A mixture of live performance art meets warehouse cabaret meets pop concert extravaganza.
GISELLE: REMIX is an evening of cabaret excellence, drag divinity, staggering choreography and jaw-dropping lipsyncs created in collaboration with dancers from The Royal Ballet, performed to a soundtrack of queer icons.
In this retelling, Giselle is a hopeless romantic, raised on a diet of Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore 1990s rom-coms, who comes to realise that the real world of queer sex and hookups is a far cry from Hollywood’s happily-ever-after. What follows is a journey through shame, assimilation, anger, acceptance and finally liberation and joy.
