Reut Shemesh: ELECTRAS / Army Of Mothers

In the organizer's words:

I am pain and I am joy, I am anger and I am death, I am guilt and I am mercy, I am armed and I am a muse, I am milk, I am the beginning, silence, I am everything and nothing, I am hate and beauty, I am misery and I am life.

I am pain and I am joy, I am anger and I am death, I am guilt and I am mercy, I am armed and I am a muse, I am milk, I am the beginning, silence, I am everything and nothing, I am hate and beauty, I am misery and I am life.

Anger. Exhaustion. Motherhood. For her new piece, choreographer Reut Shemesh and her team explore the complexity of mother-daughter relationships, including ideas of mothers as dragons - strong, angry and tired at the same time. Shemesh incorporates performers of different genders, ages and life experiences to expand conventional concepts: personal experiences clash with social stereotypes and clichés that often define motherhood.
