History, heritage, legacy, lines. Dance Theatre of Harlem pushes the pinnacle of balletic expression with this exhilarating mixed repertory program that features two Detroit premieres. Passage, a ground-breaking contemporary work from choreographer Claudia Schreier, examines the fortitude of the human spirit in recognition of the 400th anniversary of enslaved Africans arriving in Virginia. Higher Ground, the brilliant, Stevie Wonder-inspired social anthem from resident choreographer Robert Garland, is “a marvel” (The New York Times).
