ON TOUR: NEW YORK CITY, NY | LINES Ballet

Join Alonzo King LINES Ballet in New York City, New York performing at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater. Celebrating over four decades of thought-provoking dance, master choreographer Alonzo King’s unique artistic vision adheres to the classical form—the linear, mathematical, and geometrical principles deeply rooted in the East-West continuum. The company will perform King’s celebrated creation, Deep River, a collaboration with MacArthur Fellow composer Jason Moran and Grammy Award-winning vocalist Lisa Fischer.

Deep River is a call to keep hope, to make the lotus bloom in the mud, and to look at each other as a family of souls. Created over three years and throughout the pandemic, Deep River is a piece written with the heart, a love letter to a world writhing in pain, served by exceptional dancers.

“Deep River soars along a highway to the heavens, taking us on a journey from chaos and despair to revelation and deliverance.” —See Chicago Dance
