MTHR/WMN
AN EXPERIENTIAL OPERA COLLABORATION
OVERVIEW
SUMMARY
A unique blend of opera and installation art, MTHR/WMN is an original theatric creation devised for all ages. Utilizing the cast and creative team’s personal stories, history and life experience, this premiere work journals the metamorphosis from womanhood to motherhood while exploring themes of modern childhood and the battle to teach our children restraint in technology--even while we continue to gorge. ONE invites you to also directly participate in this world premiere experience from the mind of costume designer Mattie Ullrich. Participants are encouraged to rethink the idea of perfection while joining in a “craft hour” prior to the performance, taking apart and reconstructing toys to be used in the production design. Featuring original music from returning percussionist and composer Clara Warnaar, Ullrich (2017 Flight) devises a tactical art and music experience not to be missed.
