GISELA

Guy Weizman and Roni Haver have reimagined [the Willis] for Tanztheater Bielefeld as timeless ghostly brides, forever seeking new victims to avenge their faithless lovers. The spell still holds, even during their guest performance at Tanztheater International. […] The company performs with striking intensity, earning well-deserved, thunderous applause.

Fairy-tale-like, yet no less passionate and full of energy, the evening opens with Gisela, a production by the Netherlands-based choreographic duo Guy Weizman and Roni Haver. […] inspired by motifs from the ballet "Giselle ou Les Willis" by Adolphe Adam. […] An extraordinarily successful dance evening with a stunning ensemble. A must-see!

In powerful visual language, Weizman/Haver have the ballet company of Theater Bielefeld tell the tale of "Gisela" at the Theaterlabor in Tor 6. […] The Bielefeld dancers push themselves to the point of exhaustion. At times, their movements resemble those of marionettes whose strings have been suddenly cut. They collapse, only to awaken seconds later into a new state of ecstatic life.
