An electrifying tale of life, love, and identity. Based on the world's most famous work of horror fiction, Mary Shelley's 19th-century novel-turned-pop culture classic, Liam Scarlett's critically acclaimed interpretation is one of the most innovative works of dance today.

This captivating production offers a visceral, emotionally charged journey into life, death, love, and identity, set to an original sweeping score by Lowell Liebermann and immersed within the striking stage design by world-renowned ballet and opera artist John Macfarlane. See the Creature come to life in this must-see SoCal premiere!
