Mothermotherland, by Slovo. Theater Group, is an original devised theater performance developed by Ukrainians in residence with playwright Audrey Rose Dégez. The performance is based on the artists’ personal experiences, the war in Ukraine, and takes inspiration from Mykoly Khyvylovy’s 1924 novella I am (a Romantic), where the head of the local Cheka, a communist law enforcement agency, must decide whether or not to sentence his mother to death in the name of the ideals of the Commune.

FEATURING: Audrey Rose Dégez, Lili Maritchka, Dégez, Daria Holovchanska, Yuliia Linnik, Olesia Zakharova, and Veronika Shuster
