Open Pandora’s Box and come face to face with the perils of our tech-obsessed age. San Francisco Ballet takes on eternal philosophical questions about the quest for knowledge through the contemporary lens of artificial intelligence.
Returning to the Festival for the first time in over 20 years, this forward-looking company brings its ‘unmatched creative ambition’ (The Washington Post) to the Edinburgh Playhouse stage. San Francisco Ballet’s bold approach is a perfect match for visionary choreographer Aszure Barton, whose works ‘offer an entire world’ (New York Times).
Composer and electronic musician Floating Points (Sam Shepherd) performs his original score live with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. With cutting-edge visuals, the full power of the orchestra in the pit and 40 of the world’s best dancers commanding the stage, this European premiere promises to be a breathtaking spectacle.
