Unreasonable Joy

Every time I watch a professional performance, somewhere in the back of my mind comes the critic… “that was great, but Revelations is still my favorite dance of all time.” Enjoy.

Alvin Ailey’s REVELATIONS from Alvin Ailey on Vimeo.

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 traditional spirituals, this suite fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul.
