![]() ![]() The 2023 version of "Survivors" from Alvin AileyĪ soundtrack of Max Roach’s richly varied drumming and Abbey Lincoln’s powerful vocals sets the emotional tone for Survivors. It's incredible seeing this work come back to life." I think it's important that we understand that Alvin Ailey was ahead of his time, that before the notion of Black Lives Matter became a verbal statement, it was an embodiment of the type of work that Alvin Ailey did and the type of leaders and freedom fighters that he wanted to reflect on that stage. At that time, we didn't know if Mandela would be released. He doesn't necessarily leave you resolved. It was an expression of Alvin Ailey's rage over the situation, and how that situation sort of reflected racism in our own country. The ballet takes place just as Nelson Mandela is about to be thrown in jail. ![]() "I've been wanting to bring back that work that Alvin Ailey created and hasn't been seen in over 30 years.

It’s been a roller coaster ride from multimillion dollar fortune to near bankruptcy and back again as Elon Musk dreams of the impossible…and then proceeds to make those dreams come true. He got in on the ground floor of PayPal and made a fortune, which he then proceeded to plow back into his companies, determined to create a better, less oil-dependent world. A brilliant visionary who grew up in South Africa, Musk emigrated to the U.S as a young man, and made his way to Silicon Valley just in time for the dotcom boom. All of these companies have Elon Musk as the driving force behind them. Or maybe you’ve leased some solar panels from SolarCity. Elon Musk was just like that but he took these fantasies seriously and acted upon them with his strong belief that he could change humanity’s future with various innovations.
