Unbound, a Festival of New Works for San Francisco Ballet

Thursday, 26 April 2018, sees a pair of choreographic premieres: The Infinite Ocean, Edwaard Liang’s creation — with a commissioned score by Oliver Davis — poignantly explores the infinite ocean between life and death; Dwight Rhoden’s creation Let’s Begin At The End — scored by Philip Glass and Michael Nyman — brings brilliant contemporary physicality to a meditation on the complexities of love and relationships.
