The Mother
Performance
The Mother is a powerful, narrative dance production choreographed and directed by Arthur Pita - a master storyteller - which has its London premiere at the Southbank Centre Queen Elizabeth Hall in June.
The Film
This is an inventive new production which conjures up a dangerous, kaleidoscopic world, combining narrative dance and drama. In setting out to save her sick child a young mother journeys into the unknown to face life and death. Will she succumb to the forces of evil, or will the power of motherhood prevail?
“The Mother is a truly original piece that satisfies on all levels, from its stunning visual imagery to the downright weirdness of its characters and the eerie musical score.”
