NightLife Presents: FURY

NightLife breaks the mold with a special performance of FURY, a multimedia concert experience inspired by George Miller’s iconic Mad Max: Fury Road, and a night exploring the concept of survival. Featuring a live soundtrack composed and performed by indie-pop band YASSOU and choreography by Danielle Rowe, associate art director of SFDanceworks, FURY debuted at The Midway last fall with principal dancers from San Francisco Ballet and Alonzo King LINES Ballet. Join us as NightLife brings this “post-apocalyptic rock ballet” to life on an arena stage in the West Garden for a one-night-only performance. 

DJ Set by Avani
