NYC @ La Plaza Cultural de Armando Perez community garden (October, 2025)
What’s the right way to hold onto someone? What’s the right way to let go?
Before It hurts is a physical theater performance, a relational duet consisting of seven scenes, each dissecting an intricate, intimate relationship formed around the death of another. Devised around a scripted text and structured like a concept album, it presents a visceral navigation of the push and pull in various forms of intimacy and the messiness of grieving.
