Mothersuckers. Production about reproduction

Performance

2022

The performance is a continuation of personal research on motherhood, its physicality, movement/stillness and socio-political themes. I try to blur the boundaries between the process of production and reproduction using processed fragments of reality. The leading theme around which I re/produce meanings/contexts/stereotypes and expectations is breastfeeding. The starting point is a play on words resulting from the combination of the term mother and the act of suckling.
On stage, the viewer is confronted with materials transformed by the body and voice: dictionary definitions, mainstream information with the largest reach in the search engine, comments of Internet users, scientific articles, reflections of social scientists, and statements of artists. Everything takes place in a set design referring to everyday life, which cannot be seen on Instagram: a house with chaos, disorder, excess of stimuli and spoiled food.
The performance explores the act of breastfeeding, also in its physicality and sonority. The performer looks at the emotions that the image of a nursing mother evokes in society and in herself. It explores taboos related to breastfeeding: scandal, disgust, accusations of the sexual dimension of sucking breasts or cannibalistic associations. The search for the threads of motherhood and feeding in the context of dance and movement poses the performer with the question of whether it is possible to be an artist and a mother at the same time, and triggers the need to take sides with nature or culture. The performance with humour shows the absurdity of such an approach.
The work was initiated as part of the ATLAS choreographic program and supported by Residance by PLAST organization Dance Residential Centre Telocvičňa.
