Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returns to Sadler's Wells Theatre with two programmes that showcase the extraordinary artistry of a company that has changed the face of American dance over the course of more than half a century.
Both programmes feature the classic Revelations, the most seen modern dance work in the world, choreographed by Alvin Ailey and first performed in 1960. A piece that celebrates and pays tribute to American dance music and history; it explores a journey from deepest grief to unbound joy and continues to inspire audiences whenever it is performed.
