Lazarus

 

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Choreography by Rennie Harris

Premier: New York City Center, Winter 2018

 

In the Company’s first two-act ballet, acclaimed hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris completes a trilogy of works – including past Ailey audience favorites Exodus and Home — with this hour-long work inspired by the life and times of Mr. Ailey.

 

With Lazarus, Harris connects past and present in a powerful work that addresses the racial inequities America faced when Mr. Ailey founded this company in 1958 and still faces today.
