Giselle will screen from 14 April 2018 at Ster-Kinekor Cinema Nouveau and followed by The Flames of Paris releasing 05 May 2018

Giselle is a romantic ballet in two acts. Prima ballerina, Svetlana Zakharova, personifies this ultimate ballerina role in the classical repertoire, alongside the sensational Sergei Polunin as Albrecht, in this chilling, yet luminous ballet that continues to captivate audiences for over 150 years at the Bolshoi. When Giselle learns that her beloved Albrecht is promised to another woman, she dies of a broken heart in his arms. While Albrecht grieves, she returns from the dead as a Wili, a vengeful spirit meant to make unfaithful men dance until death…

Duration: 2 hours and 20 minutes, with an interval of 15 minutes

The Flames of Paris: From 05 May 2018

The Flames of Paris is a full-length ballet in four acts based on songs of the French Revolution. Very few ballets can properly depict the Bolshoi’s overflowing energy and fiery passion as can Alexei Ratmansky’s captivating revival of Vasily Vainonen’s The Flames of Paris. With powerful virtuosity and some of the most stunning pas de deux, the Bolshoi Ballet displays an exuberance almost too enormous for the Moscow stage. In the era of the French Revolution, Jeanne and her brother Jérôme leave Marseille for Paris in support of the revolutionary effort that is taking over the capital. While fighting for freedom, they both encounter love along the way…

Duration: 2 hours and 15 minutes, with an interval of 15 minutes
