MÜTTER!

In the organizer's words:

At the beginning of all human life there is always a mother. In myths, art and literature, the mother becomes an iconic figure. From the holy Madonna to powerful fertility goddesses to the evil stepmother from fairy tales, there is a wide range of models for exemplary, but also supposedly misguided motherhood. Against the horizon of such role models, however, real mothers are usually primarily concerned with somehow managing their everyday lives - between the demands of self-sacrifice and self-realization. At the same time, the intimate experience of motherhood is of public, socio-political relevance today.

In this evening of theater, the actors transform themselves into "mother animals" and revolve around the dazzling phenomenon of motherhood. Playfully, associatively, sensually and not without humor, they explore everyday situations, archetypal dimensions, social constellations and contradictory emotions. Documentary texts form the basis.
