Keith A. Thompson & danceTactics presents Love Alone Anthology Project (World Premiere) / 20th Annual La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival

danceTactics performance group will present Love Alone Anthology Project, choreographed by Keith A. Thompson and inspired by the writings of AIDS activist Paul Monette (1945-1995). Galvanized by his powerful 1988 volume of poetry Love Alone: 18 Elegies for Rog, written while his gay lover was dying from HIV, this multidisciplinary performance interprets and embodies these stream-of-consciousness monologues into a suite of powerful episodes performed by men of multiple generations, backgrounds, and sexual identities. Love Alone Anthology Project features performances by Clarence Brooks, Shawn Brush, Aidan Feldman, and Brendan McCall, visual art by Robert Flynt, lighting by Joe Levasseur, video art by David Fishel, and original music by Albert Mathias, Maesa Pullman, and Dalal Bruckmann.

The 20th Annual La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival, curated by Nicky Paraiso with guest curators Martita Abril, Blaze Ferrer, and Adham Hafez, features works by 20 visionary artists with varied creative practices and approaches to performance. La MaMa Moves! runs April 10 to May 4, 2025, at La MaMa’s Ellen Stewart Theatre, The Downstairs Theatre, The Club, and Community Arts Space. Performance times vary.
