"Bill T. Jones, the political lion of modern dance … a fiercely experimental choreographer …."

In celebration of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company's 25th anniversary and the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth, YBCA presents the West Coast premiere of Fondly Do We Hope … Fervently Do We Pray. Blending video, live music, movement and theater, Fondly Do We Hope navigates the ambiguous space where art, biography and history collide, profoundly expanding the palette of modern dance. In this thought-provoking new work, Jones—recipient of the 2007 Tony Award for Spring Awakening and recognized worldwide as a cultural trailblazer—considers Lincoln's legacy and unrealized vision for the reconstruction of America, exposing that great distance between what is and what could have been. (Running Time: 90 minutes, no intermission)
