Exploring the conflicts of motherhood, adventure, and self-authorship, Regan O’Brien’s theatrical ritual MotherKraft is a transdisciplinary performance journey through movement, held within an original musical soundscape, while weaving stories with sensuous video art.
Directed by Ella Clarke, and with a live band on stage (featuring Meljoann Ryan (guitar, voice, and beats), Sharon Phelan (electronics and voice), and Robbie Blake on vocals), the performance is a contemporary love story of a woman who awakens, suspended in the place at the very beginning of ideas, of time, of experience.
She has been framed and in order to rescue herself, builds the MotherKraft, a sentient bioship who guides her on a voyage through the profound isolation of Motherhood.
MotherKraft takes place at the Project Arts Centre from Thursday 21st – Saturday 25th March.
