"Guide my feet, Lord, while I run this race, for I don't want to run this race in vain."African-American Spiritual

These words are the heart of this ballet. They are like one unified pilgrimage prayer that rises from the voices and bodies of the artists who have come together to make this work of art. I invite you to accompany us on this journey: from darkness to light, bondage to freedom, exile to home. I developed this work with a group of current and recently released incarcerated musicians at San Quentin State Prison. These men and I found that we were brothers in a multidimensional way. Their songs included in this ballet speak mightily of divine justice and mercy, both of which I sought to embody in the choreography. - Silas Farley
