ANDROMEDA

Choreography: Katlyn Addison

Music: Jonathan Sanford

Costumes: Ballet West Costume Shop

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

Costumes: Ballet West Costume Shop

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?

With a great enthusiasm for the bold and unexpected, her work balances dynamic orchestral writing with elements of sound design, electronics, and fearless instrumentations. Her music for Emmy-winning THE FIRE THAT TOOK HER (MTV Docs) was nominated for a 2022 IDA Best Score Award, and in 2023, her score for BUBJAN won a Hollywood Music in Media Award. In addition to film scoring, Katy has been collaborating with choreographer Emily Adams since The Thing With Feathers, co-commissioned by Ballet West and The Sundance Institute in 2021. Together, they’ve created five original commissions for stage. Katy graduated from Yale University and earned a Masters in Music at NYU, where she studied with Pulitzer Prize-winner Julia Wolfe.
