UNSUCKLE
Feb 11 - Feb 16, 2020
La Mama Courthouse
Following a sold out development season at La Mama Explorations on 2019, Isabella’s devised dive into motherhood “If Needed, Repeat” returns as part of La Mama’s main stage season in 2020 as Unsuckle.
I think about my mum, and her mum, and then think about me being a mum, and then think about when and if to be a mum, and then mother earth, and I’m like — fuck.
Through physical theatre and a little bit of acting, Unsuckle will take a good hard look at the concept of the mother. Our own mums, the mums who came before us, and whether, in an age of uncertainty, there will ever be a ‘right time’ for us to be mothers ourselves.
