About the performance:

Who is a Mother? Who is the mother who still sees in the mirror the teenager who gave it to everyone? Who is the mother who did not turn her back on her mother just because she felt sorry for her? Who is the mother who is not a superhero? Who is the mum who is ashamed of her children? Who is the mother who cannot have children? Who is the mother who wants a different life? Who is the mother who takes a moment for herself? Who is the mother in a grave need for loud sex?

In SCREAM: MOTHER, the artists take as their starting point a physiological investigation into the heredity of trauma, highlight the social conventions attached to the idea of motherhood, confront the question of the associative field of the archetype of the mother from everyday language to iconography, explore the relationship between the mother and the (also already grown-up) child, and emphasise the physical aspect of the decision to be, or not to be, a mother. They give the theatre the space to intervene in the relationship "mother", which is all too often equated with identity.

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.
