The Propelled Heart by Alonzo King LINES Ballet (USA)

‘LINES Ballet’s The Propelled Heart masterfully conjures physical beauty and spiritual anguish.’

- San Jose Mercury News, United States

‘Astonishing range, perfect intonation, mastery of the stage.’

 - Broadway World on Lisa Fischer

Alonzo King and Grammy Award winning vocalist Lisa Fischer’s stunning collaboration The Propelled Heart pays tribute to the power of song through dance.  Alonzo King explores the kinetics of the human voice in choreography that combines the power of Lisa Fischer's voice with the communicative potential of the body as an instrument through the expressive LINES dancers.

The piece is a voyage, with the dancers impelled by the voice of Lisa Fischer.  She acts as a standing sentinel at the inchoate pre-verbal beginning. Under her gaze the dancers radiate their light and churn noise into harmony, hearts ablaze. 

Audiences aged 6 and above are welcome.

The running time of each performance is approximately 70 minutes without intermission.

Audience is strongly advised to arrive punctually.  Latecomers and audiences who leave their seats during the performance will only be admitted to their own seats at a suitable break.
