Beschreibung
Passion, ambition and escape, in the colorful artistic underworld off-Broadway.Cammie, a dancer in her mid-thirties, has just landed her first part in a show since coming to New York City. Yet the tug of familial obligation and the guilt of what she sacrificed to be there weigh down her dancing feet. Her lover, Tom, an older piano player, came to the city himself as a young man in the 1980s with a story eerily in tune with Cammie's own. Through their triumphs and failures, both learn the fleetness of glory, the sweetness of new love, and how a dream come true isn't cherished until it passes. The bright lights of the stage intoxicate, while degradation and despair lurk close behind the curtain. Their sagas are marred by two pandemics, AIDS in the 1980s and COVID-19 today, which ravaged the performing arts community, leaving a permanent scar on those who lived through them. The poignant intersection of their stories reveals a love affair unbound by time, which reaches across decades through the notes of a piano's remembered song.
