PROJECT BY
DDK Węglin

Is being a mother a beautiful thing? A unique, wonderful experience? Is it always wonderful or maybe gets a little bit tiring, sometimes? What if a mum would like to get out of the house for one afternoon and have fun?… Every mother has moments when she wants to shoot herself into space. Every mother, although no one will admit it, at least once in her life she thought of throwing a screaming baby out the window. The project engaged Mums (including single parenting ones) and non-Mums: women who don’t have children and maybe even don’t want them. Within nine months, the length of a pregnancy, we gave birth to a common child: a performance resulting from the weekly meetings. Participants have collectively developed the script, designed the set, decided about the costumes and, of course, performed on stage.
