San Francisco Season

Alonzo King's LINES Ballet
Spring Season 2009
April 17 - 26
Signs and Wonders & World Premiere

Spring 2009 will feature the return of Signs and Wonders. Set to indigenous music from myriad African tribes, Alonzo King’s Signs and Wonders was originally commissioned by Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) in 1995 and toured worldwide. “Mr. King pays tribute to the wonders of creation with choreography filled with constant changes,” in the words of The New York Times—drawing audiences into a world of evanescent ritual, where the dancers devote themselves to the miracle of transformative movement. This piece will incorporate Alonzo's inspirations from his current travels to Ethiopia. The season will also include a World Premiere set to classical music.
