In this acclaimed collaboration by Akram Khan and the English National Ballet, the greatest Romantic ballet and its story of love, betrayal and redemption are reimagined.

The score is adapted by Akram’s long-term collaborator Vincenzo Lamagna, adapted from Adolphe Adam’s original, and performed by English National Ballet Philharmonic.

Sets and costumes by award-winning designer Tim Yip and atmospheric lighting design by Mark Henderson conjure up a condemned factory and the vengeful ghosts that appear in its shadows.

广受赞誉的舞蹈编舞大师阿库·汉姆(Akram Khan)对这部经典的叙事芭蕾舞《吉赛尔》进行了创意性的改编，为观众献上了令人惊叹的全新版本。该版本被誉为“21世纪舞蹈的杰作”，由奥斯卡金像奖得主叶锦添（代表作品：《卧虎藏龙》）负责布景和服装设计，鲁斯·利特尔(Ruth Little)负责戏剧创作，托尼奖得主马克·亨德森(Mark Henderson)负责灯光设计。作品广受《每日邮报》《纽约时报》等媒体好评，获得2017奥利弗奖的舞蹈杰出成就奖项，阿库·汉姆本人也凭此作获得英国国家舞蹈奖最佳编舞奖。

舞剧是既富传奇性，又具世俗性的爱情悲剧，从中可以看到浪漫主义的两个侧面：光明与黑暗、生存与死亡。在第一幕中充满田园风光，第二幕又以超自然的想像展开各种舞蹈，特别是众幽灵的女子群舞更成为典范之作。
