We, a charming duet by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's former Artistic Director Robert Battle, depicts a seasoned relationship between a couple. Capturing the spirit of familiarity and vulnerability that is as endearing as reaching for a hand and knowing the other’s will always be there, Battle sets this work to composer Sean Jones’ tender “Love’s Lullaby.”
