The choreographer Alonzo King has reached a point where he has no choice: He does what he does. “You keep pushing out beauty, you keep pushing out truth,” he said in a phone interview. “Of course, it’s a challenge. This is a dark time, but it’s also a time of incredible possibility. Can you believe the world? Can you believe it?”
Alonzo King’s interview with Gia Kourlas of The New York Times was published this morning accompanied by the second film of our five-part series. You can read it in print in this Sunday’s edition or online here.
