COMPANY PREMIERE

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater: New York City Center, 2026

RUN TIME

  • 28 minutes

As the first modern dance-based company to perform this piece, Ailey brings new perspective to a landmark of late twentieth-century ballet. Propelled by Thom Willems’ driving score, the work crackles with immediacy, energy, and risk, balancing rigorous structure with a unique visceral spontaneity.
