A family's youngest daughter takes center stage as her father cares for his wife of over 50 years, who now has Alzheimer’s. Witnessing the relentless repetition of the disease and the extraordinary patience and unwavering commitment of her father’s love, Estella struggles to accept her mother as she is now. While recalling her mother's former vitality, a world view emanates, and we see the same couple in their first year of marriage, filled with light and hope for the future. She moves through time and space to learn the flickering power of memory and to remember what is important when the mother she loves cannot.
Flawless, a tale of enchantment written by Robin Goldfin based on and inspired by an award-winning essay by Canadian writer David J. Lawless, is staged with dance and movement by Laurie DeVito with live music composed and performed by Oren Neiman on the guitar and Patricia Santos on the cello.
