Alvin Ailey – Program A in Forest

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater brings its celebrated Program A to Forest, Brussels, showcasing the legacy of one of America's most influential choreographers. Ailey founded the company in 1958 as a haven for nurturing Black artists and expressing the universality of the African-American experience through dance. His work fuses theater, modern dance, ballet, and jazz with Black vernacular, creating hope-fueled choreography that has spread global awareness of Black life in America.

Attendees can expect a performance that reflects Ailey's groundbreaking vision, including his choreographic masterpiece *Revelations*, recognized as one of the most popular and most performed ballets in the world. The evening highlights the company's role as a "vital American cultural ambassador to the World," as designated by the U.S. Congress in 2008. It's a rare opportunity to experience the artistry of a company that has been honored with an "Alvin Ailey Day" in New York City and recognized by New York State.
