How do we view our own bodies as we age?

Susan Kempster and Charlotta Öfverholm explore the physicality of different bodies, in a double bill that is as intimate as it is darkly funny.

MOTHER

MOTHER is an intergenerational duet that invites the audience to question intimacy and who we are to each other.

How can the dynamic of a mature woman and a young man avoid the narrative of a mother and son? And what happens as our perception of these bodies is swapped and altered?

Susan Kempster explores the intimate physical connection that two very different bodies can create on stage.

Charlotta Öfverholm looks at our relationship with our own bodies through the lens of a mature dancer in this energetic piece featuring live music, powerful movement and bold characters.
