A heartfelt love letter to ones lost, Alia Kache makes her Ailey II choreographic debut with The Gone. This sextet embraces her unique style of movement—a fusion of ballet, Forsythe, Graham, Hawkins, and Horton—which is wonderfully paired with the soulful music of singer-songwriter Be Steadwell.

A male dancer is performing on stage, balancing on one leg while holding the other leg extended to the side. He is shirtless and wearing brown pants. The background is dark, and the stage is lit to emphasize his muscular form and balance.
