The Hunt (Ailey II)

Artistic Director Robert Battle’s athletic work reveals the predatory side of human nature and the primitive thrill of the hunt.

A thundering percussion soundtrack by Les Tambours du Bronx drives the explosive movement that runs the gamut from modern sports to the rituals of the gladiators.
