Crossings reimagines the 19th-century ballet Giselle as a contemporary, site-specific exploration of choice, embodiment, and the spaces between love and loss. Set within Yusof Ishak House, the work transforms the familiar tragedy into a living question: What if fate could be rewritten through movement? Drawing on the building’s shifting thresholds and encounters, the performance invites audiences to experience multiple possible endings, where each gesture alters the story’s emotional and spatial architecture. Rather than a retelling, Crossings becomes a choreographic dialogue between history and possibility, a crossroads where past and present, body and space, converge.

Directed by Yarra Ileto, with guest choreographer Edwin Wee, Crossings explores the classic story of Giselle through a dance-theatre expression of choice and consequence. Performed by NUS Dance Synergy.
