THE SELFISH GIANT - JHB YOUTH BALLET

Oscar Wilde’s charming morality tale of the Selfish Giant who finds redemption through the kindness and love of a little boy is brought to life by the young dancers of the Johannesburg Youth Ballet.

The production is under the artistic direction of Mark Hawkins with choreography by Mary-Ann Mottram, Mark Hawkins and Jan Venter who also makes a guest appearance as the Giant. Set design by Wilhelm Disbergen

The bittersweet tale of transformation will be narrated by the inimitable David Butler. The story offers wonderful opportunities for a narrative ballet in a setting where birds, peach trees, flowers, and the elements are key in the storytelling.
