Evolution of Revelations
When Revelations premiered on January 31, 1960, it was an hour-long work with sixteen sections. Two years later, for a tour of the Far East, Ailey reworked Revelations into a choreography of three-parts titled “Pilgrim of Sorrow,” “Take Me to the Water,” and “Move, Members, Move!”
