Ballet Pensacola's Frankenstein

Rick Outzen: (we don’t) color on the dog · Sep 17, 2026 · 6m · transcript

Ahead of Ballet Pensacola's October 2–4 production of Frankenstein, guest choreographer Gonzalo Galguera joins Rick Outzen to talk about his unconventional approach to Mary Shelley's story — starting the ballet with Elizabeth's death and working backward.

Galguera digs into the novel's central question of who the real monster is, how movement and dance can trace a character's arc from innocence to menace, and what he hopes audiences carry with them after the curtain falls.
