A WAKE is a new production by Amanda Donato in collaboration with experimental sound composer Stefanie Egedy, MXM light design and young fashion designer Maximilian Franz-Josef Melzel. Presented in 5 Acts, it doubles as a memorial service for Donato’s maternal grandmother and woman with advanced Alzheimer’s disease: Catalina Trezza. It is an active attempt to make a work that vibrates with Catalina’s tenacity and preserve her precious memories through creative expression. A WAKE is a personal outpour of the unexpected things that emerge when grieving the healthy mind and identity of a loved one. In her performance experience, Donato connects to the emotional wavering between deep love and deep loss as she navigates imaginative landscapes communicated through movement, light and sound. The space becomes a surreal and dreamy vacuum, cushioned by the low frequency sound vibrations of Stefanie’s score. In Act 5, Donato works vigorously to knead dough as a final offering, representing her grandmother’s cooking as the most repetitive and monumental act of love received in her childhood.
There is a humanity to this work that prioritizes unrefined emotions. Donato’s body shrinks, breaks, dissociates, disintegrates and tangles as it mirrors the rippling complications of Alzheimer’s disease. The audience is invited to reflect on their own encounters with trying circumstances and how beautiful it is to remember.
