DESCRIPTION:Every full moon, a sisterhood emerges from the earth, determined to have
its stories heard. These women are neither malicious nor evil. They refuse
to be dismissed or forgotten. Through a combination of theatrical scenes,
movement and original live music, Mother Tongue explores what happens after
violence, focusing on survival and the reclaiming of personal narratives.
The production brings together an international ensemble of six female
performers. Their voices create a multilingual chorus, incorporating
English alongside Flemish Dutch, Spanish, Polish, Bosnian, Portuguese and
Gaelic Irish. The original score, composed by Ciara Cogley, features live
vocals, bass guitar, acoustic guitar and violin.
Written and directed by Gabrielle Hofmann, with music direction by Ciara
Cogley, Mother Tongue is produced by Out of Place Theatre in collaboration
with the London-based charity Women & Girls Network.
