Behind the Scenes: Part 1 of The Making of Mauro Bigonzetti’s Deep

Go behind the scenes of the making of 'Deep,' the newest work created for the Ailey company by Mauro Bigonzetti, the new director of La Scala Ballet. The work, which has its world premiere during Ailey's 2016 Lincoln Center season, is set to the soulful music of Ibeyi, twin sisters who sing in English and Yoruba. (“Ibeyi” is the Yoruba word for twins.) The Los Angeles Times called Mr. Bigonzetti’s previous work for Ailey – 2008’s Festa Barocca – “a major addition to the company’s repertoire that offers a perfect vehicle for its many-faceted talents to gleam anew.” More info & performance schedule: alvinailey.org/deep Video by Logical Chaos
