(in-Person) BAM
February 23-26
For their return to BAM after seven years, Abraham brings the evening-length dance work An Untitled Love set to the music of the neo-soul, Grammy Award-winning R&B artist D’Angelo. "An Untitled Love serves as Abraham’s creative exaltation of Black love and unity. He dedicates this feel-good work—its visceral hope, solace, and joy—to family, culture, and community strengthened over generations and lifetimes. Nearly three decades after first befriending Brown Sugar, D’Angelo’s debut album, Abraham choreographs to the music of a singular artist for the first time in a work of this scale. Personifying love in all forms, this work shines through devotion to detail in the music and through movement," notes the release. Find out more here
