Step inside a world where myth meets modern day. Mere Mortals
[https://www.sfballet.org/productions/mere-mortals/https://www.sfballet.org/productions/mere-mortals/]
reimagines the story of Pandora’s Jar through the lens of our
tech-driven age. Exploring eternal philosophical questions through the
timely subject of artificial intelligence, this BALLET EXAMINES THE
PROMISES AND PERILS OF HUMANKIND FORGING NEW PATHS IN UNKNOWN
TERRITORY. This fully immersive experience fuses movement, music, and
cutting-edge visuals into a breathtaking sensory journey.Commissioned
as a world premiere for Artistic Director Tamara Rojo’s inaugural
season, the program returns as a fusion of electronic music, festival
culture, and contemporary ballet—an otherworldly journey all
around.
Witness the visionary choreography of Aszure Barton come alive
alongside composer Floating Points, performing live with the San
Francisco Ballet Orchestra at every performance. In a city defined by
innovation and technology, Mere Mortals is a provocative,
unforgettable exploration of progress, creativity, and the human
spirit. No doubt an experience you’ll feel long after the curtain
falls.
NOTE: Mere Mortals has flashing lights which may trigger those who are
photosensitive. The live orchestra and electronic music will be
amplified.
