Nothing else, Mothers Prague

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I see you. Sometimes our gestures are as different as our memories. I was inside you. You’re inside me. We’re holding on. Sometimes I let you go, other times you leave me. Yet we are united. Is it possible not to resemble each other? Can we accept what we don’t like about each other? What do we have in common and what do we carry separately?

But “Nothing else, Mothers” is above all a common act of understanding.

Dancer Cécile Da Costa and actress Antonia Formanová dance, whisper, play and sing about care, quiet, a trip to Fuji, quiet deals, exaggerated expectations, inexplicable joys and cruel worries.

“Nothing else, Mothers” is a composition of the mother-daughter relationship.

Several consecutive parts as points in the map depict the path of mother and daughter, which is in constant motion, trembling and transformation. “Nothing else, Mothers” is about melting subjective memory, the power and power of our feelings, acceptance and manipulation. Transmission of emotional patterns from generation to generation. To what extent do we allow ourselves to be influenced by our initial relationships and accepted patterns of behavior? And if we look at them, can we exceed them?
