Mother, Barbican Centre

Creative collective Peeping Tom promises to transport you to an alternate, dreamlike universe with their new show, Mother.

Part of the London International Mime Festival 2018, Mother is a stunning new production that defies categorisation. Moving from museum to maternity ward, this non-narrative work explores the various paradigms surrounding matriarchy. Inspired by the memories of performers and director Gabriela Carrizo, the troupe delivers a powerful portrayal of what it means to be a mother. Accompanied by a surreal soundscape and stunning visual imagery, the production intertwines suffering, desire, and fear to recreate the atmosphere of a David Lynch film.

The terrifyingly talented troupe are sure to give Jennifer Lawrence's mother! a run for its money.
