Giselle

Giselle and her buddies are a crew. The square is their home, where they can chill, dance and support each other when they have to deal with unreliable parents and pushy teachers. But one day, queen bee Giselle doesn't show up, and their world is turned upside down. Does that mysterious boy have something to do with it? Dreams coming true - is that really possible? De Toneelmakerij, with years of experience on the big stage (1000+1 Night, The Magic Fluit, As you like it) and DOX join forces.
