Description
‘Gravity, which the dancer turns into art when from the ground they take flight, and to the ground they return.’ Ada d’Adamo moved to Rome to pursue her passion for dancing. But when her daughter Daria is diagnosed with a brain malformation at birth, she is grounded against her will, defined exclusively by her motherhood and caregiving role. Ada struggles to redefine her expectations for her daughter, who will never feel the pull of gravity helping her to stand tall. And when she is diagnosed with stage-four cancer before Daria is fourteen years old, their fragile future is brought into even sharper focus. Written by Ada for Daria, Gravity is an intimate glimpse into a mother’s complicated yet unwavering love for her daughter in the limited time they have together.
