Let's honor our loved ones, hold space for grief, and reflect on the possibilities of transformation with music theater writers Daniel Lazour and Patrick Lazour, Obie Award-winning director Taibi Magar, and choreographer/movement educator Larissa Velez Jackson.Reimagine has been hosting candlelight vigils since March 2020, the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to break down taboos and hold space for all that we've lost. This gathering features the creative team behind Night Side Songs, a new musical at Lincoln Center Theater which the New York Times describes as "warm, rich and enveloping." With a stirring folk score by the acclaimed duo The Lazours and visionary direction by Taibi Magar, Night Side Songs explores the in-between spaces of illness and mortality. Informed by conversations with nurses, doctors, patients, and caregivers, the show is a testament to the fragile, fierce humanity that carries us through the night and to the healing that can happen when we truly listen. Choreographer and cancer survivor Larissa Velez-Jackson will lead the honor ceremony.
