“TOSCA -living for love, dying for dignity” was created by Italian choreographer Francesco Core using music from Puccini’s Opera Tosca. She expresses her grief to God, asking why she’s having such a difficult ending to her life, despite all of the good she’s done. She feels destroyed and is fighting for her dignity. The strong, independent, and selfless woman lived her entire life for love, up through the very end, where she took her own life for love.
