They thought this moment would change everything. But does it?

​

Mums is a poetic and delicate look into the state of grieving, following one family in their attempt to adjust to a new reality. Inspired by Jean Luc-Lagarce’s play J'étais dans ma maison et j'attendais que la pluie vienne, the piece is a collage of different original texts, songs and movement, interwoven and devised by the company. The five performers take the audience on a journey through the characters’ grief, memories and stories, asking what pain is and inviting them to deepen their awareness of this universal state.

​

The production will be premiered on 17th and 18th June at Ugly Duck in London. For tickets, click here.
