Alvin Ailey said that one of America's richest treasures was the cultural heritage of the African-American experience - "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. http://www.alvinailey.org/about/company/alvin-ailey-american-dance-theater/repertory/revelations
