Best of Ailey: Firebird/The Golden Section/Revelations
Firebird - New to AAADT, Maurice Bejart's
Firebird jettisons Stravinsky's fairytale for a modern all-male interpretation that recasts the Firebird as the Phoenix.
The Golden Section - Twyla Tharp's supersonic, daredevil dance is set to music of David Byrne. Its kamikaze style sizzles with breathtaking leaps, finely-honed partnering and explosive joy.
Revelations - This signature piece is one of the most uplifting ballets in the modern dance repertoire. With traditional spirituals from the American South, this is the best-loved dance in the whole world.
