Program: Deep River
Running time: 65 minutes, no intermission

Deep River premiered May 13, 2022, as part of LINES Ballet’s 40th anniversary season. Over the first two years of the pandemic, Alonzo King and the artists of LINES worked in confined bubbles at their studios, in outside grassy areas of Golden Gate Park, on a farm in the isolated desert of Wickenburg Arizona, and in other locales to build work and not be halted or harmed by the pandemic. Deep River results from three years of working in designated time periods in unusual settings. Choreographer Alonzo King says that the work reminds us that “love is the ocean that we rose from, swim in, and will one day return to”- and that love can set us free.
