In 2014, it is curated by The Royal Ballet and The National Gallery s Minna Moore Ede, and celebrates the origin of stories through the telling of myths. The festival will focus on two archetypal myths: Leda and the Swan, the seduction of Leda by Zeus while disguised as a swan; and Prometheus, the Titan who creates man from clay and steals fire from the Gods.
