DIRECTOR'S CHOICE
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
SUN, MAR 21 | 2:00 PM Jackson Hall
SAT, MAR 20 | 7:30 PM Jackson Hall
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a nowfabled performance in March 1958 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African American modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American dance. The Ailey company has gone on to perform for an estimated 25 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents—and has reached millions more online and through television broadcasts. This long-awaited return to the Mondavi Center of an iconic American company will feature two performances, each featuring Ailey’s landmark work Revelations.

TUE, APR 13 | 7:30 PM Jackson Hall
—The Dance Current on Red Sky Performance
Red Sky Performance is a Canada-based company of contemporary Indigenous performance led by Artistic Director Sandra Laronde of the Teme-Augama Anishinaabe (People of the Deep Water). Red Sky’s evening-length work Trace (2019) brings us into the cosmic realm. Inspired by Anishinaabe sky and star stories, Trace offers a glimpse into our origins and our future; how we are traceable to the very beginnings of the universe, and how our ancestral origins stretch from the Milky Way to the atoms burning inside us in the ‘here and now’ on earth.

Exploring the masks we wear to survive, to love and to endure, Cuando los Disfraces se Cuelgan reminds us, just as Shakespeare does, that in the end, the truth will out.
