Why See San Francisco Ballet: Frankenstein?

BalletDance & Ballet

back for 2025

Liam Scarlett's celebrated production of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein returns to San Francisco in March 2025! Scarlett's work has been lauded for its psychological complexities and expressive movement in dance. His first full-length ballet, Frankenstein brings to life the troubled Dr. Frankenstein and his equally tragic Creature, exploring man's desire to create and moving away from its "horror" label.

The original story of Frankenstein has mostly been forgotten with the advent of Hammer Horror movies, and now the Creature is a staple of pop culture, even laughable with his flat top haircut and neck bolts. However, Scarlett's rich and evocative production turns down the horror angle, and transforms it into a Gothic love story with a tragic end worthy of opera, with an emphasis on exploring what it means to be human.
