Lock the evils of the world away they said, it'd be easy they said

What better way to kick off the new year than with the premiere of a newly commissioned show at the San Francisco Ballet? Mere Mortals is a collaboration between Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton and DJ and composer Floating Points. The work is a reimagining of the ancient Greek tale of Pandora's Box, adapting it to the modern era in which we live. Combining classical orchestral music and EDM, the ballet seeks to bring a new twist to the myth, questioning the potential of artificial intelligence and the risks it may pose if the box is left open. An innovative combination of a classical medium with modern electronic music, Mere Mortals is a must-see for longstanding ballet fans and newcomers alike!
