Human voices from remote corners of the globe convene on the dance stage as Alonzo King LINES Ballet explores the power of lost languages. With over 3,000 languages across the globe in danger of vanishing before the end of the century, poet and activist Bob Holman has become a leading advocate of linguistic preservation and revitalization in indigenous communities. His recorded collection of poetry and song in endangered languages informs the soundscape of this evening-length ballet choreographed by Alonzo King. The worked premiered May 4, 2017 in San Francisco, and will begin touring in 2018-2019. Estimated artist fee: $30,000/performance, $70,000/week.
