Choreographer Sonya Tayeh (Obie and Lucille Lortel Award winner, Drama Desk–and Emmy Award nominated) brings us you’ll still call me by name, an emotionally-charged dance-symphony that explores a mystifying, complex and jagged relationship between a mother and daughter. The piece exposes the cellular desire for familial acceptance, intimately investigating and dissecting the heartbreaking chasm that forms when it is lost—and the endurance it takes to transcend that space between. Original live music composed by indie-folk duo The Bengsons.
you’ll still call me by name features Colette Alexander, Abigail Nessen Bengson, Shaun McClain Bengson, Mia DeWeese, Tilly Evans-Krueger, Lenin Fernandez, Jennifer Florentino, Jenn Freeman, Rory Freeman, Geneva Harrison, Jo Lampert, Dani Markham, Kevin Pajarillaga, Christopher Ralph, Chelsea Thedinga, and Maddy Wright.
