(M)OTHER
(M)OTHER

During her divorce, Cristal lost custody of her child. She lives in a yurt, the family court judge claims that the housing is unsanitary. If she wants to regain joint custody, she must leave her place of residence and move to a “hard” place, a concrete building. Loosely inspired by this legal case, (M)other is an intimate and political phantasmagoria that addresses issues related to social and ecological justice, where dance, music, storytelling and visual art are intertwined. A voice to tell the story, an imaginary folk dance to ward off anger, archaeological excavations, a landscape garden populated by immobile presences are the elements that make up this work. The project is a continuation of Jeanne Brouaye’s previous works, which place the notions of self-construction and alternative architecture at the heart of her approach.
