Mere Mortals

Step inside a world where myth meets modern day. Mere Mortals reimagines the story of Pandora’s Box 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 alongside a live performance by acclaimed electronic music producer Floating Points. Coming from 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.
