From Revelations to Cry, a Kinetic Mopal of Been Here and Gone, Come and Get the Beauty of It under a Hot Blood Burning Moon, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is heading towards Seattle on a Caverna Magica of Days Past, Not Forgotten.* The company will grace the stage of the 5th Avenue Theatre on March 25 to 27 to celebrate 50 years of the signature dance Revelations as well as Judith Jamison’s final year as Artistic Director and introduce Artistic Director Designate Robert Battle to audiences.
This dynamic company has evolved and grown from its days of “station wagon tours” into international ambassadors of dance. They transport audiences with kick and flare daring the young to dream of executing a Pas de Duke before presidents, passersby or Olympic spectators.
