Giselle Ki Kahani is a story of a young girl whose dreams are shattered, as she is humiliated. She is perceived to go mad and ultimately dies, only to wake up in a realm beyond life where she witnesses justice, and learns to move on.

Inspired by the Western classical ballet 'Giselle', this puppet ballet performance places the story in an Indian setting. While the story of the classical ballet is maintained, the characters, emotions and concepts of innocence, love, betrayal, humiliation, insanity, death and justice are in resonance with our reality today.

30 life sized puppets, various objects, a puppeteer and a dancer communicate the story using contemporary puppetry and contemporary dance.

Crew:
Puppeteer: Varun Narain
Dancer: Rea Krishnatraye
Sound design: Mukul Jain
Lights: Gyan Dev Singh

The performance is 90 minutes with an intermission of 15 minutes.
