Mother Tongue is more than just an event—it’s an exploration of the universal themes of nurture, care, and the unseen strength of mothers. Mother Tongue includes 2 performances:
Deconstructing a Lullaby
By SoulReserve
What is a lullaby, if not a soul-stirring melody woven from timeless myths and lore? SoulReserve presents a masterful long-form piece exploring the mother-child bond. Delve into the soothing essence of lullabies, uncovering their comforting nature and the myths that envelop them. This meticulously crafted piece is an all-encompassing, hypnotic poetic experience that will lull you to sleep and/or awaken your senses.
The Motherhood Collective
Featuring Asha Rajan, Natalie Damyanovich-Napoleon, Melissa Domiati, Carly Blenkhorn, Miriam Wei Wei Lo
The Motherhood Collective Performs Itself! What does it mean to be a mother? Five diverse poets will take you on a journey of motherhood: from babies and breast-feeding to teenaged children and empty nests. Expect every emotion from joy to anguish. Expect poetry performed with verve. Expect a little bit of music. You will never look at mothers the same way again!
This awesome event is one-might-only with limited seating. Hurry, book your seats now!
