For one day only, experience Ragnar Kjartansson: The Visitors in a whole new way as dancers from San Francisco’s world-renowned Alonzo King LINES Ballet perform live in conversation with the video installation.

The Visitors transports viewers to a distinct, immersive setting, where they become witnesses to the artistic process as both a singular and collective experience. In this special pop-up performance staged alongside the work, the artists of LINES Ballet complement, respond to, and expand upon the on-screen experience through choreography performed between the video projections that provides a living expression of the creative process.

Please note: There will be three to four dancers in The Visitors at most times during this program. The Visitors gallery may reach capacity at times during these performances. If you would prefer to experience The Visitors without in-gallery dance on this day, please visit between 10:15 a.m.–noon or 4–4:45 p.m.
