Mama Mega
Yul • Redfern / MamaNoSing
Music and dance performance themed on motherhood, mental load and gaming.
Four women, lots of mental load and a virtual super heroine. Following last season’s highly successful Chekhov palimpsest Sistas! at the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, and a critically acclaimed riff on Nestroy’s Cypressenburg at Vienna’s Burgtheater, director Isabelle Redfern and choreographer Ute Pliestermann now focus on post-partum depression and gaming in this wild ride towards empowerment: One woman keeps seeking refuge in the bathroom when her kids are stressing her out; another one will turn into stone when she gets overwhelmed by her infant death anxieties. All of them end up seeing the weirdo psychologist Frau Wu, who will introduce them to the world of online gaming rather than treat them on the therapist’s couch. In the world of gaming, they encounter the super heroine Mama Mega, who can deal with anything by breaking all the rules and taboos of child rearing. Anxieties, feelings of exhaustion and loneliness and aggressive impulses are thus catapulted into the virtual world, only to bounce back to the real world in the form of empowering dance performances. Mental load, we learn, is a journey, and not a destiny, while the psychological construct is gleefully pulverized on the stage. On musical terms, the pianist MING is eagerly pulling the strings to present us with female composers and their exciting pieces ranging from the baroque and romantic periods to modern folk and pop music. Game over. Dance now. Let liberation commence.
