 "Revelations" is divided into three sections "Pilgrim of Sorrow", "Take Me to the Water" and "Move, Members, Move"

The first section, “Pilgrim of Sorrow” begins in total stillness.As the stage lights up, the earthy colors of the costumes and backdrop become apparent.These drab colors symbolize the earth, as Ailey’s intentions were to portray people attempting to rise up from the ground.
