Alone on a stage covered with flickering candles, a woman embarks on a spiritual journey that echoes the repeated lyric "my soul is a witness for my Lord." Alvin Ailey drew inspiration from a recording of traditional spirituals sung by Jessye Norman to create this stirring ballet celebrating the female dancer’s strength, elegance, and versatility.
