This hauntingly beautiful ballet, skillfully adapted from Tim Burton’s 1990 movie, explores the transformative power of love and the consequences of being different.

Filmed live at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, it follows Edward—a gentle soul with scissors for hands—as he navigates a world that fears his unusual appearance. Matthew Bourne’s delicate choreography captures Edward's journey, from curiosity to sensation to scapegoat, reminding us that the heart’s deepest longing is to be accepted for who we truly are.

This bittersweet story highlights how beauty often lies in our imperfections. Edward Scissorhands will carve a place in your heart.
