Alonzo King: Line Ballet
Label: ARTHAUS Catalog: 108043 Format: BLU RAY ALONZO KING LINES BALLET (BLURAlonzo King: Lines Ballet is a too-short, post-modern ballet program in which the artist has his dancers explore running 138 minutes and with music by Mickey Hart (the first of three parts), but this one was so abstract that it never developed into anything that stuck with me, despite some interesting designs by Christopher Haas. Ballet lovers might really enjoy it as an exercise in new ballet, but it fell short for me despite al the talent involved. At least it is ambitious and has some good moments that ballet fans will like. Otherwise, I wanted more, even if closure was not an intent or goal. Extras include a nicely illustrated booklet on the concert and featurette Alonzo King - Poet Of Time, running 22 minutes. © 2012 Fulvue Drive-in Price: $49.98 |
