Kyle Abraham’s latest work, ‘Dear Lord, Make Me Beautiful,’ is a profound, abstract dance piece that conveys themes of aging, memory, and the personal struggles intertwined with broader societal issues.
Abraham describes the work as immensely personal, crafted amid reflections on his father's dementia and the chaos stemming from pandemic life, emphasizing a visceral, organic beauty experienced by the audience.
Inside the Armory, the performance space transformed into an intimate realm, featuring a lush, evolving digital backdrop and original score by yMusic, enhancing the overall emotive experience.
This work marks a significant return for Abraham, not just as a choreographer but also as a dancer, emphasizing his journey through personal and collective narratives, encapsulated in abstract movement.
