The legendary Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is heading to Israel in September!
The dance group will be premiering their Home piece, set to gospel house music and inspired by the stories of real-life AIDS survivors, plus a number of other shows as part of their ongoing world tour.
Their first show in Israel will be at the Jerusalem Theater on the 29th September, before they move on to Tel Aviv and the Israel Opera Performing Arts building for a small run of shows (2nd – 6th October).
Their tour of Israel also sees them perform American choreographer Paul Taylor’s Arden Court, and they will also be premiering Robert Battle’s Takademe.
