Premise
Martha Graham once said: “A dancer dies twice — once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful.”
At this intersection of her life, Sheu Fang-yi commemorates her glorious past two decades with a funeral, to farewell her past self, and to get ready to move toward her unknown future.
