There is a palpable electricity in the air whenever the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater arrives on stage at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre. And it has been working its magic on that stage for more than five decades.
In a highly varied series of interactions, Abraham captures complex interactions between men and women; the male pursuit of women and their various degrees of success and failure; the forging of a romantic bond between two men; and an array of other situations that suggest people who are either sadly alone or who finally forge an intense connection. The work’s 11 dancers brought both their own emotional and physical prowess to each encounter.
And then, of course, came Ailey’s “Revelations,” a 36-minute epic in three sections , that never fails to leave the audience in a state of high exultation. The work’s final section, “Move, Members, Move,” includes “Sinner Man,” the rip-roaring male trio brilliantly danced by Jeroboam Bozeman, Chalvar Monteiro and the remarkable Segawa. And it culminates with the work’s iconic grand scale Sunday morning gathering for a church service, with the women — decked out in wide-brimmed hats and waving fans in the heat — eventually joined by the men who are dressed in their Sunday best and are ready to playfully engage with the women.
