Costume and Lighting Design by Jeanne S. Mam-Luft

MamLuft&Co. Dance presents an excerpt of the recently-premiered Yesterday’s Wedding, created in Cincinnati. Imageries from a cup of tea for one, as well as bitter memories of a wedding guest, are used as allegories for themes of retrospection, regret, and indelible loneliness, even in the midst of physical closeness. This work was created with the artistic talents of composer Michael Wall (Columbus, OH) and creative contributions from the performers.
