When the assured Riho Sakamoto first stepped out of her home as Giselle, she didn’t so much skip round the stage as fly.
About movement to music and nothing else. There’s no hidden theme, no hidden meaning. It’s even performed in simple white tops and trousers.
The fascinating collage of scenes and sounds engaged fully, watched over not only by the audience but by the rows of portraits that line the gallery’s walls
“2 Chapters Love may be full of ‘classic’ Eyal but, in many ways, it also feels very much an ode to classical ballet.” Plus Sol Léon’s Stars Like Moths.
