A.I.M. by Kyle Abraham, Requiem: Fire in the Air of the Earth

Abraham’s Requiem: Fire in the Air of the Earth, a work that Celebrity Series is proud to have co-commissioned, is a timely rethinking of death rituals and the power of rebirth. In African diasporic traditions, the expiration of human life is not a cause for sorrow, rather a rite of passage to the supernatural. Through personal catharsis, visionary choreographer and MacArthur Fellow Kyle Abraham delivers this universal and urgent dance between the vulnerability of human life and the divine possibilities of the beyond.
