Description
A 2019 world premiere by Nashville Ballet Artistic Director Paul Vasterling, Lucy Negro Redux explores the mysterious love life of literary great William Shakespeare through the perspective of the illustrious “Dark Lady” for whom many of his famed sonnets were written. Based on the book by Nashville poet Caroline Randall Williams, this history-making contemporary ballet explores themes of love, otherness, equality, and beauty as the narrator embarks on a journey to discover her own power and worth. Featuring an original score and live music by Grammy Award-winning artist and MacArthur Genius Grant receipient Rhiannon Giddens and spoken word performed by Williams herself,Lucy Negro Redux is an imaginative drama brimming with wit and relevancy.
