Thanks to our friends at the Edinburgh International Festival, we’ve got a pair of tickets up for grabs to Mere Mortals on Saturday 29 August! 🩰

San Francisco Ballet takes on eternal philosophical questions about the quest for knowledge through the contemporary lens of artificial intelligence in this futuristic retelling of Pandora’s Box.

Returning to the Festival for the first time in over 20 years, this forward-looking company brings its ‘unmatched creative ambition’ (The Washington Post) to the Edinburgh Playhouse stage. Composer and electronic musician Floating Points (Sam Shepherd) performs his original score live with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. With cutting-edge visuals, the full power of the orchestra in the pit and 40 of the world’s best dancers commanding the stage, this European premiere promises to be a breathtaking spectacle.

To be in with a chance of winning, email [email protected] with your answer to this question:

❓Which US city is this ballet company from?

The competition closes at midday on Friday 7 August, and the lucky winner – drawn at random – will be contacted directly via email.

Good luck!
