Spectrum Dance Theater Revisits Donald Byrd’s Grief–Last Performance Tonight!
Donald Byrd’s Grief imagines a moment just before Emmett ‘Till’s funeral, the 14-year-old Black boy who was horrifically abducted and murdered in 1955. Painfully embodying the unendurable grief of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, the work centers around the powerful way she chose to endure it.
