Ailey II is universally celebrated for merging the spirit and energy of the country’s best young dancers with the passion and creativity of today’s finest emerging choreographers. For this unforgettable experience, the gifted Ailey II dance company will perform the enduring classic Revelations, which has been called “…one of the most sublime dances ever choreographed…” (The Boston Herald). It is a poignant tribute to the cultural heritage of African Americans, expressed through spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs and holy blues.
“Is there a more moving work in 20th century dance than Revelations?”
– Richard Christiansen, Chicago Tribune
“…powerful and eloquent dancing characterize Ailey’s timeless tribute to
humanity, faith and survival.” – Clive Barnes, New York Post
