Discover the remarkable history and legacy of one of the most important works of art to come out of the AIDS crisis: choreographer Bill T. Jones’s tour de force ballet “D-Man in the Waters.” Created by Jones and his partner in life and dance Arnie Zane, who died of AIDS in 1988, "D-Man in the Waters" gave physical manifestation to the fear, anger, grief, and hope for salvation felt by the community in 1980s New York. Following a millennial dance troupe’s efforts to re-interpret the piece for their generation, directors Rosalynde LeBlanc and Tom Hurwitz offer a remarkable examination of dance, love, and loss—and the power of art to move through pain.
