Photographs by
Susan Kuklin.
In this "inversion" of the traditional Nutcracker, narrative captions tell how Clara, an older woman, and her recently deceased husband, who enacts the Nutcracker prince, fight off Death and celebrate at Club Sweets. Byrd's tribute to family and Harlem comes to life through Kuklin's vivid color photographs of Byrd's company dancing the ballet.
