Giselle’s encounter with a disguised nobleman moves from village life into the supernatural realm of the Wilis. Crasset’s sculptural trees offer an alternative visual language for the familiar narrative, making this an interesting companion to more naturalistic stagings.

Notice how geometric shapes frame the dancers and connect the two worlds. The provider lists production year 2024; its URL mentions filming in December 2023, so those dates should not be treated as interchangeable.
