This week, the spotlight falls on the South African State Theatre as Joburg Ballet brings its silver jubilee production of Giselle to Pretoria from 20 to 22 February. Launching the company’s 25th Anniversary Season, the sublime romantic classic celebrates a legacy that began in 2001 when the troupe was founded as the South African Ballet Theatre. Fittingly, Giselle was the first ballet performed by the company and remains a cornerstone of its repertoire.
Staged by acclaimed former South African ballerina Angela Malan, with ballet mistress Kim Vieira and assistant producers Nicole Ferreira-Dill and Karen Beukes MacDonald, the production honours both heritage and artistry.
A haunting tale of love, betrayal and forgiveness, Giselle features principals Tammy Higgins, Ryoko Yagyu and Monike Cristina in the title role, partnered by Revil Yon, Ivan Domiciano and Bruno Miranda as Albrecht.
Expect ethereal beauty, dramatic intensity and ghostly corps de ballet scenes that linger long after curtain call.

Fashion meets fierce purpose as Rubicon Clothing unveils Conceiving in the Mind, a powerful new collaboration with non-profit Women and Men Against Child Abuse. More than a campaign, the initiative is a national call to think deliberately and act intentionally so that more children are born into safe, chosen and protected environments.
At the heart of the movement is In Bloom, Rubicon’s Spring/Summer 2025 showcase evolving into an exclusive summer capsule collection launching in early 2026.
Awash in radiant Citrine yellow symbolising power, vigour and hope, the range extends the brand’s Ethereal Continuum while embracing renewal and rebirth.
Founder and creative director Hangwani Nengovhela describes the collection as a celebration of strength and light, aligned with advocacy for the vulnerable.
The collection will be shot at Graham Contemporary Art Gallery, where art and fashion converge.
