Led by Robert Battle in his inaugural season as Artistic Director, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will return to the Sony Centre For The Performing Arts stage, February 2-4, 2012 for four performances that will showcase the brilliant artistry and passionate spirit of Ailey’s extraordinary dancers in a series of new works and new productions that extend the vital legacy of Alvin Ailey (1931-1989) in exciting new directions.
Two different programs will be presented, with each performance culminating in Alvin Ailey’s beloved masterpiece REVELATIONS, an American classic acclaimed as a must-see for all, and recognized by a U.S. Senate resolution. Alvin Ailey said that one of America’s richest treasures was the cultural heritage of the African-American —”sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful.” This enduring classic is a tribute to that heritage and to Ailey’s genius. Using African-American religious music– spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs and holy blues–this suite fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul.
