“Alonzo King is one of the few bona fide visionaries in the ballet world today” San Francisco Chronicle

One of the few, true ballet masters of our times, Alonzo King brings his celebrated contemporary ballet company on a first visit to Ireland to perform in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.

King bridges classical technique and modernity in these two exquisite and sensual choreographies, brought to life by twelve outstanding dancers. Shostakovich takes ballet to its extreme dimensions with its fierce and focused energy. Set to four Shostakovich string quartets, King pushes the dancers to the limit, as they revel in the space between harmony and discord. This is followed by the deeply evocative and joyful Rasa, performed to an exhilarating original score by Grammy-winning Indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain.

Technically brilliant and sublimely beautiful, this evening programme showcases King’s visionary choreographic style and challenges the way we look at ballet.
