Deep Water: The Murder Ballads
Deep Water: The Murder Ballads is a set of three dance-theater pieces inspired by folksongs recounting real-life stories of notorious North Carolina murders. Folk musicians and singers retelling the tale again and again have passed down these ballads for generations. This collaboration between choreographer E. E. Balcos and composer John Allemeier represents an artistic rendering of these stories through modern dance and contemporary music.
