Akram Khan's acclaimed version of Giselle for English National Ballet will be screened to cinemas worldwide from 25 April. The show features Tamara Rojo as Giselle, Stina Quagebeur as Myrtha, Queen of the Wilis, and Jeffrey Cirio as Hilarion - watch them perform in an exclusive clip below!

This is the first time Khan's reimagining of the iconic ballet is appearing in cinemas. Rojo, Artistic Director and Lead Principal of English National Ballet, stars as Giselle, one of a community of migrant workers cast out of their jobs in a condemned garment factory.

The production also features sets and costumes by Academy Award-winning Tim Yip, an adaptation of Adolphe Adam's original score by composer Vincenzo Lamagna - performed by English National Ballet Philharmonic - dramaturgy from Ruth Little, lighting design by Mark Henderson, and it is directed for screen by Ross MacGibbon.
