British Bangladeshi choreographer Akram Khan, known for his masterful works that interweave an infectious fusion of contemporary dance and Indian kathak, created a 21st-century Giselle, reimagining this epitomical classical ballet to illustrate the woes of migrant workers and powerful factory owners. The groundbreaking work has had successful runs in the UK, Dublin, Auckland, New Zealand, and Hong Kong, and the Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance will bring English National Ballet to Chicago in 2019 for its American premiere.
