A last dance with her deceased mother.
As a child, it is your greatest fear to lose your parents. At a young age, this is Amira’s reality. With the loss of her parents, she also lost her sense of home and security.
The name of the mother Amira so abruptly lost is Nadia. During the creation of the performance, she looked up old contacts, such as her sisters that she hasn’t seen in over 18 years. It was a year of discovery, but also of difficult confrontations.
The performance shows the tension of the search and the various emotions and stages of processing grief. We see her struggle, but we also see someone who no longer wants to fight and just wants to be a child again; hopefully, safe, and familiar.
