ANDROMEDA is a dramatic and unique take on the Greek myth of royal pride, divine wrath, and enduring love.
Aethiopia celebrates the birth of Princess Andromeda.
Years later, Andromeda’s beauty and kindness have become legendary.
Queen Cassiopeia boasts that Andromeda surpasses the gods in beauty. This incurs the wrath of Poseidon, who demands the princess as a sacrifice or he will destroy the kingdom and all its people.
In the throne room, as the King and Queen despair and the city pleads, Andromeda bravely offers to save her people and agrees to be sacrificed to the monstrous Cetus.
Perseus, the Greek hero, discovers Andromeda who is tied to the rocks awaiting her fate. He instantly falls in love with her.
Learning that Poseidon has demanded Andromeda’s sacrifice to Cetus, Perseus confronts and defeats the sea monster using Medusa’s head to turn it to stone.
Freed, Andromeda finds love with Perseus amidst the danger they have overcome

The name of the ballet was inspired by the singer Elis Regina, who sings and interprets the songs picked for the ballet. I wanted to explore human emotional states surrounding feelings of love, play, grief and togetherness. What do those look like through my work? How are they being expressed through the dancer’s bodies? Can you feel it from the edge of your seat?
