Details

In this queer, lip-sync cabaret retelling, Giselle is a hopeless romantic, raised on a diet of Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore 1990's rom-coms, who comes to realise that the real world of queer sex, hook-ups and heartbreak 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. All performed to a soundtrack of queer icons ranging from Judy to SOPHIE. A mixture of live performance art meets warehouse cabaret meets pop concert extravaganza.

Hot off its instant sell-out premiere at the Royal Opera House, GISELLE: REMIX and its anarchic, punk-reimagining of the classic ballet returns to subvert this timeless story of love, loss, revenge, redemption and forgiveness. GISELLE: LATE - During the season, GISELLE: REMIX will host GISELLE: LATE, a one-night-only takeover of the Pleasance Theatre on Saturday 20th April, featuring an array of the most exciting drag performers, cabaret stars, go-go dancers and more who will be stationed throughout the building before and after that evening's main show. Arrive an hour early and you'll be greeted by the likes of sultry and scandalous burlesque performers in the bar and after the main show, you'll find legendary cabaret crooners and opera singers serenading you in the studio space whilst the finest drag talent London has to offer will grace the main stage. And if that's not enough, an array of iconic DJs will turn the Pleasance Main House into Club Giselle for a night of dancing, debauchery and disco until late. Kit, Jonny and Lavinia will alternate appearances across the three-week run.Presented byPatrick Bone. Presented byMolly McGeachin. Presented byThe Pleasance. Choreographer Hannah Grennell.
