Don't miss Petite Giselle and SALT-ed: A ballet experience at The Drama Factory

Cape Ballet Africa will return to The Drama Factory next month for six performances only of Petite Giselle and SALT-ed, running from Wednesday, September 10, until Sunday, September 14.

There will be excerpts from Maina Gielgud’s traditional Giselle, paired with Michelle Reid’s sizzling Smoke, which is part of the ballet company’s triple bill SALT.

The Drama Factory audience will also have an opportunity to enjoy the first South African performances of Kirsten Isenberg's new pas de deux, Nocturne, which premiered at the international Benois de la Danse 2025.

Choreographed by internationally renowned Maina Gielgud, Petite Giselle offers highlights from the beloved romantic ballet about love and betrayal. Reid’s Smoke is described by Dance Europe’s Maggie Foyer as “a smouldering, jazzy piece” with “a clever play of dynamics to build a head of steam.”

Petite Giselle and SALT- ED will be presented at The Drama Factory on  September 10, 11, and 12  at 7pm, September 13 at 2pm and 6pm; and on September 14 at 4pm. Tickets cost R280 and can be found here.
