Jack Sears has created a queer retelling of Giselle, titled Giselle: Remix, which merges dance and theatre with a unique soundscape, featuring artists like Judy Garland and SOPHIE. Originating from Clacton-on-Sea, a place connected with Nigel Farage, Sears expresses pride in showcasing queer and trans voices through his work. The choice of Giselle as a foundation for the show allows for creativity free from audience preconceptions, emphasizing the blend of classical and contemporary themes in a vibrant performance.
"Jack Sears has reimagined the classic ballet Giselle as Giselle: Remix, intertwining dance, lip-sync cabarets, and an original soundscape featuring Judy Garland and trans icon SOPHIE."
"I love Clacton and I have no shame about being from there, but I want my name attached to something that platforms queer and trans voices."
