World Stars at the Budapest Spring Festival - Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company
The latest production of the 25-year-old Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Serenade/The Proposition, remembers the Abraham Lincoln heritage and historical personage on the 200th anniversary of the birth of Lincoln.
