The Story of a Mother

Zebbug, MALTA - This dance piece is moving, intricate, and beautifully danced. There’s something special about watching a rehearsal video of something like this. From a distance, the uniform lines and great technique can make the dancer seem untouchable and sometimes cold. This up-close, behind-the-scenes look offers a chance to see the great skill and strength, the choice to keep on going when there’s been a stumble, and the connection between these dancers who have clearly been rehearsing tirelessly. We are very grateful for this submission from choreographer Pamela Kerr.

From Pamela:

The Story of a Mother is a prayer dedicated to a mother who has lost a child. The inability to let go. This piece was meant to be premiered on the 5th April as part of a larger performance, however the performance was cancelled due to COVID -19.
