Shaped by accessibility, Dis Giselle unfolds as a sound choreography that invites audiences to experience dance through sound, storytelling, and imagination.
Saša Asentić explores how accessibility tools can become both an aesthetic and political gesture. When sight is not the determining factor, sound can become a crucial element in experiencing dance. Dis Giselle places accessibility at its centre – not as an addition, but as the artistic expression itself.
📣 Dis Giselle is presented in three language versions: English, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, and Persian. The performance lasts approximately 45 minutes with no break.

ABOUT THE WORK:
In an audio choreography in four scenes – created for blind, partially sighted, and sighted people – dancer Jelena Stefanoska gives a new interpretation of Giselle, the tragic heroine of the famous Romantic ballet. Stefanoska weaves in her own stories, poems, and fragments from magazines and music – from pop to ballet. In the Persian version, Mandana Kouros enriches the work with added references to Iranian pop and traditional culture.
The result is a poetic and political audio journey that allows the audience to experience dance – not with their eyes, but through listening and imagination.
