"Will I still get to see my mom?" Dani Girl, asks her guardian angel Raph, towards the end of her cancer journey. "Yes, all the time," he replies.
Dani Girl, the directorial debut of Tof de Venecia is a brave, beautiful and moving musical about faith, friendship, and the triumph of love over death. It strikes a deep chord among those of us who have lost loved ones, or for anyone whose life has been deeply touched by cancer. The musical willbe many things to many people, depending on the lens upon which you view it, and the life experiences that you have had so far.
Watching it tonight, at the RCBC theater, I was reminded of Mitch Albom's quote from "The Five People That You Meet In Heaven" -- "Death only ends a life, not a relationship." Dani Girl will make you think about your own life, and at the same time move you towards a deeper understanding about the journey that is cancer. It runs at the RCBC Theater until July 27, 2014, produced by The Sandbox Collective.
