Years ahead in the future of planet Earth, only one species remains, thriving in a desolate post-apocalyptic landscape...the Kardashians! Famous for being famous and living on money alone, they dominate a decimated planet. They dance on and on in this grotesque ballet, desperate for attention from an audience that no longer exists.

​

Keeping Up with the Apocaylpse was commissioned by Ballet Central as part of their touring programme of work alongside a restating of an Ashton ballet and two new works by Dickson Mbi and Kristen McNally. Set to John Adam's opera 'Nixon in China', the work is a meditation on greed, vanity and the absurdity of a species bringing about its own undoing, and dragging everything else with it.
