EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Mujahid Safodien, the graceful art of ballet comes to life on the stage of Johannesburg Theatre. The image showcases a mesmerizing moment during a dress rehearsal for the timeless ballet Giselle, performed by talented dancers. Giselle, originally choreographed by French ballet dancers Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot in 1841, is a romantic masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. As these South African ballerinas embody their roles with elegance and precision, they transport us into a world where emotions are expressed through every movement. The horizontal composition of the photograph allows us to appreciate both the individual beauty of each dancer and their harmonious synchronization as an ensemble. Their delicate poses exude strength and grace while conveying the emotional depth inherent in this classic tale. Safodien's lens captures not only the physicality but also the passion behind these performers' craft. Through his skillful photography, we are transported into this enchanting realm where dreams intertwine with reality. This AFP print serves as a testament to how art transcends borders and cultures; it reminds us that even thousands of miles away from its birthplace, ballet can find its home in South Africa's vibrant artistic scene.
