Arcane Halloween Ballet in San Francisco

 My wife and I and one of our daughters went to this ballet in San Francisco today. We enjoyed this ballet  a lot. I thought it was interesting regarding Arcane being a Star in the sky who comes to earth on Halloween. Unfortunately this was the last performance of Arcane: A Tale of All Hallows Eve(at least for this years Fall Season.)

Arcane: A Tale of All Hallows’ Eve - annual Halloween ballet returns to the Cowell in 2016

Company C Contemporary Ballet will once again offer refuge to the wayward ghosts who haunt the Bay Area during Autumn’s October days.
The one-hour ballet, suitable for families with children as well as anyone who loves Halloween, tells the original story of Arcane, the star that sits at the hip of the harvest moon. Each Halloween, when the veil between life and death is most thin, she descends to Earth. She brings with her the “Voice of the Voiceless,” and with this voice animates all things to mischief and revelry.
The production mines a wide field of traditional, narrative, and theatrical inspirations from the Mexican Day-of-the-Dead holiday, poi ball spinning of the ancient Maori people of New Zealand, and Chinese and Greek mythology. Lots of stage magic and effects bring the story to life and augment the dancing. We’ve added new characters, music, and choreography to enhance this year’s production.
We are greatly inspired by the team of artists we have gathered to work on this extraordinary Halloween ballet. You can look forward to outstanding contemporary dancing to an exciting original score by Mike Krisukas (Zen for Primates) and choreography by Charles Anderson.
