Panama´s National Ballet will be presenting one of the jewels of romantic ballet:
Giselle at the National Theatre this Wednesday October 5, 7th, 9th at 7 p.m.
Alexa Gutiérrez will be dancing the part of the evil Myrtha one night and as the sweet
Giselle the other. She is usually my favorite when playing the bad girl. More than
60 dancers on stage.

Basic plot: sweet girl in town falls in love with not so inocent Prince. He was supposed
to get married with a princess. When she finds out, she dies of a heart attack (well…
dies of love!). Leaves the prince feeling guilty and the guy who actually loved her
(a boy from the town) heartbroken.

Second act: Giselle, as a ghost ends up under Myrtha´s reign. Her gang is made of
all the women who have died of love and their mission is to take revenge by killing
every man who enters their forest by making them dance until death.  When the
poor guy who actually loved Giselle steps in, Myrtha´s army get hold of him and kill
him. But when the prince comes in, Giselle arises. Myrtha orders her to dance with
him and murder him, so she dances… but keeps a pace where he is still alive at dawn.
Giselle has saved him and forgiven him.

The last scene, at dawn, he is found over the tomb of Giselle, repented and crying.

And you thought ballet was boring!!!!!!!!!!  No way!!!! Don´t miss it!
