SHOUT: MOTHER

About the performance:

The REAKTOR collective, in their project SHOUT: MOTHER, explores in a direct, witty, and multilayered way what the concept of "mother" truly represents. Who really is this person we call a superhero, whom fairy tales always depict by the stove and advertisements show smiling by a baby stroller? Who is the person who can be both the greatest protector and the greatest enemy, whose presence or absence has left a mark on everyone, and whom we absolutely do not want to imagine during loud sex?

The performance throws a birthday celebration for a mother, but at the same time, it closely examines the unspoken corners of the mother-child relationship (even when the child is already an adult), questions societal conventions of motherhood, and explores the difference between relationship and identity.

The performance lasts 75 minutes.

The REAKTOR Collective:

The REAKTOR Collective is a group of young theatre artists who share a common interest in a non-hierarchical way of (co-)working, where they fluidly move between otherwise established roles within the process of preparing a theatre event. They create original performances in which they address social taboos. Their work breaks the boundaries of comfort both within the creative process and on the basis of the themes they address, as they are primarily interested in the active involvement of art in society and the transformative potential of theatre. They explore themes of social inequality, discrimination, gendered violence and equality within the current socio-political system.
