Mere Mortals (World Premiere)

 

January 26–February 1, 2024 

Announced today, Mere Mortals' evening performances will include an afterparty in the price of the ticket, featuring a Bay Area DJ and a cash bar located in the lobby areas.

 

Created by composer Floating Points (aka Sam Shepherd) and choreographer Aszure Barton, Mere Mortals recasts the Pandora's Box myth as an exploration of the dangers and opportunities brought along by artificial intelligence. Floating Points will perform live at every performance of Mere Mortals, playing alongside the SF Ballet Orchestra. Mere Mortals will include AI-informed stage, lighting, and lobby designs by Barcelona-based design firm Hamill Industries and costumes by Michelle Jank.

 

Mere Mortals marks the first full-length work SF Ballet has commissioned from a female choreographer. Mere Mortals' matinees on Saturday, January 27 and Sunday, January 28 do not include afterparties.

 

Carmen (World Premiere)

 

Presented with Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's Broken Wings
April 4–14, 2024

Announced today, choreographer Arielle Smith's world premiere Carmen will include costume designs by Gabriela Hearst, “a thinking woman's designer” (Vogue) and the former creative director of Chloé. Carmen's all-star creative team also includes Grammy Award-winning jazz composer and pianist Arturo O'Farrill, scenic designs by Riccardo Hernández, and lighting designs by Jim French.

 

Carmen is featured with Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's Broken Wings in “Dos Mujeres,” an exploration of Latina womanhood that marks the company's first double-bill of female choreographers and its first program dedicated to Latinx stories.
