A semi-autobiographical work that traces the tempestuous relationship between a young girl, growing up in East Harlem, and her ex-dancer mother, a force of nature and a troubled mind who has been forced by circumstances beyond her control to give up so much in order to survive, and to keep her daughter safe. Content Warning: discussion of child abuse, rape, language.
This play is presented as part of Burning Coal's repertory series of two plays by Dael Orlandersmith. It will be performed live on stage daily and livestreamed with a multi-camera set up.
