Bill T. Jones commemorates the birth of America’s 16th president without lapsing into cliché, documentary or reconstruction, in this masterful fusion of theatre, dance, text, imagery and music. Virtuoso dance is set against a backdrop of classical white columns, evoking both slavery and the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King told of his dream. A poetic and topically resonant meditation on collective legacy and the private domain, by a choreographer keen to "participate in the world of ideas".
