Northern Ballet releases a new original short film about the discovery of identity.
Leaning into the mythology of Merlin and wizardry and demons as a metaphorical reflection of the choices we make that sculpt us as individuals, I AM MER-LIN asks ‘What do we lean towards and what or who do we run away from?
