Who doesn’t know the romantic ballet “Giselle” of 1841? Anna Wieser uses the tragic love story as a reference for her journey through the TOUCH WOOD exhibition. The dancer is concerned with the gifts of the trees, the forest as a place of contemplation and the cycle of nature, threatened by globalisation. Throughout, she quotes the choreographical sequences of the famous Giselle interpretations of Mats Eck (1982) and Akram Khan (2016).
