In 1971, Alvin Ailey choreographed Cry as a birthday present for his mother. Created on the legendary Judith Jamison, it went on to become an enduring work of American art. Mr. Ailey dedicated this piece to "all Black women everywhere--especially our mothers." In this 3-section solo, the dancer, clad in a white leotard and long ruffled skirt, brings the audience on a journey of bitter sorrow, brutal hardship and ecstatic joy. To all the mothers and mother figures, AILEY wishes you a Happy Mother
