Forgiving (My Mother)
A thought-provoking exploration of family dynamics, reconciliation and free will, or rather the lack of it. Have you got mummy issues too? So do Pat and Emilia, migrant theatre-makers working on a play about two siblings unpacking their childhood emotional damage (aka post- Soviet parenting). This ‘intimate’ and ‘witty’ **** (BingeFringe.com) meta-theatre production explores the removal of moral judgment from the tangled mass of generational trauma… and the absolute chaos of creating autobiographical performances

Theatre Company Reviews:
“This show embodies the essence of what it is to be a young Eastern European woman, growing up within narratives shaped by the patriarchy, performing the function allocated, and later challenging that.” - Ksenia Kazintseva from IZBA ARTS
“Really moving and I think has the potential to help a lot of people. Amazing that so much was conveyed in just 50 minutes. A simple clear message with universal application. Unique interesting structure that pushes the narrative well.” - Audience member
