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.”
— Dancing Times
“When it comes to blurring the line between acting and dancing, it would be hard to imagine a better dream team than the one behind The Mother.”
— The List
“…one of the most profoundly moving and emotionally compelling dance performances you are ever likely to see.”
— 5 stars The Herald
