Our mothers remember when we stopped wearing diapers. And, the day will come when we will wear them again. Is that a part of degeneration or evolution?

Giselle is a ballet first performed in France in 1841, and is a ballet blanc, white ballet, which features fairies dressed in white. As we dance with different generations of dancers, we think we will be wearing diapers in the not-so-distant future. This is our way of dancing a ballet blanc.

For this performance, Shinobu will be performing Giselle and Akihiko as Albrecht, and the two are portrayed as a couple shortly before starting to wear diapers. Just as fairies dance in the forest the night after night, we are inviting a DJ to dance along to club music every night.

Even if we have a future like that, we will accept it and wish to keep dancing charmingly and strongly.

We are also inviting IMATAKA DANCE FAMILY from Kitakyushu to present another version of Giselle.
