The Grave’s Tears is a full-length choreographic work that confronts the legacy of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the ongoing erasure of Black and queer lives. Expanding from Venom (2024), it explores generational trauma, systemic neglect and the violence of being forgotten. Haunting and skeletal in movement, the piece is a physical elegy shaped by memory and spirit. Snow falls throughout as a metaphor for erased bodies and unmarked graves. Guided by the voices of Black queer cultural ancestors, the work is both a mourning and a refusal to disappear—insisting on presence, resistance and the power of remembrance.
