“…the world’s most successful modern-dance troupe.” —The New York Times
Ailey returns to BAM—this time, extending its stay to twelve performances—to showcase the Company’s superb artistry and astounding technical prowess. Ailey will present two programs, “Ailey Spirit” and “By Popular Demand,” both culminating with the beloved masterpiece Revelations.
In the “Ailey Spirit” program, BAM audiences will be the first in 35 years to see Ailey’s joyous ballet Mary Lou’s Mass. This new production coincides with the centennial celebration of jazz pioneer Mary Lou Williams, whose music inspired a work “perfect for Ailey” that is “a celebration of life, jazz and gospel” (The New York Times).
This engagement is presented by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Regular BAM house and ticketing policies may not apply.
