For 25 years, this world-renowned San Francisco-based company has been sharing its vision of transformative, revelatory dance — of vulnerability and tenderness, but also of furious abandon and exhilarating freedom. These two works exemplify Alonzo King’s vision as a choreographer and bring to life a vibrant new language for Western classical ballet.
In Irregular Pearl, choreographer Alonzo King uncovers the freedom that lies inside of form and movement itself. His choreography transcends virtuosity to achieve a unique beauty, a sense of unforced artistry; a luminescence that comes from within.
Rasa features the rhythmic virtuosity of Grammy-award-winning composer and tabla master Zakir Hussain. This collaboration between choreographer King and composer Hussain is both a continuation of a deep tradition and an expression of the contemporary global vision of both artists.
