About No more beautiful dances
No more beautiful dances wrestles with the ideas of exploration, introspection, and reframing a woman after becoming a mother, and being an immigrant. Lenzu’s dance-theater piece uses spoken words and drawings to tell a personal vision of femininity, and what it means to be a woman today.
