For the 24/25 season, SF Ballet and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco commissioned Ranu Mukherjee to create the curtain drop for Cool Britannia. The work takes inspiration from each of the three ballets that make up the mixed bill, evoking the angular choreography of Sir Wayne McGregor’s Chroma; attention to light in Christopher Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour; and depiction of World War I in Akram Khan’s Dust, incorporating plants that were used for medicinal properties at that time.
