See Central West Ballet rehearse for its upcoming production

The Time Machine is about the time traveler who we will not name, so in the ballet he has no name, and he's just called the time traveler. And he goes to the future to find out that we, as humanity, have completely devolved instead of evolving. So that's a part of the novel that is very dystopian in concept, but it's a novel that was very significant for the invention of the idea of having a machine that can time travel. And everyone has always had this fantasy that you'd like to time travel, go to the past, go to the future. And it's been a long time project of mine since I was in my young twenties to have this one day be a ballet. The ballet of course is an adaptation on the novel and so there's much more, there's a lot of dystopian scenes scenes but there's also a love interest in the Victorian era for the traveler there's two other characters Victoria so the love interest for the traveler is Alexandra and she has her sister Victoria and her fiance Elwood and so there's all sorts of characters that have been created for the purpose of the ballet but that are integrated within kind of the story of this concept of the in the future having gone through devolution rather than evolution.
