An occasion like this comes once in a lifetime! The Ailey company marks six decades of achievement and celebrating the human spirit with the N.J. premiere of Rennie Harris’ Lazarus – based on the life and legacy of Alvin Ailey – and a Timeless Ailey program. The iconic Revelations concludes each performance.
Lazarus, from inaugural artist-in-residence Rennie Harris. Lazarus was inspired by the lifework of Alvin Ailey – one of the groundbreaking greats in African-American history – and addresses the racial inequities our nation has faced since 1958, when the company was founded, and today.
Timeless Ailey, on the Mother’s Day Sunday program, is composed of excerpts from rarely seen gems by Alvin Ailey, including Love Songs, Cry, Blues Suite and many more, plus Revelations in its entirety.
