Wagner New Play Festival - Motherloss

SCHEDULE:MAY 5 - 16, 2025 MOTHERLOSS Written by Mylan Gray | Directed by Ludmila de Brito | Choreographed by Ana María Álvarez When Dwayne meets his long-lost mother in a dream, he leaves behind everything he’s ever known to go find her. In a fantastical journey through space and time, MOTHERLOSS follows Dwayne as he retraces his mother’s steps from the Gold Coast, through the Middle Passage, to the New World. On the way, he meets strangers, tricksters, and unexpected guides who teach him how to traverse a history of loss and grief, and how to hold those closest to you near. THE CAST Dwayne: Nate B.
