Inspired by the life and legacy of Isadora Duncan, this work explores themes of loss, motherhood, and remembrance. Following the tragic deaths of her own children, Duncan created the poignant solo "Mother," depicting a mother's tender embrace and subsequent release of her child. A century later, four women are profoundly moved by this iconic dance, each confronting their own experiences with loss and the enduring power of art.
