Mother's White
Danstheater AYA & Silbersee
The dance and music theater production Mother's White is about the relationship between a white mother and a black child. The mother sees that her child encounters different limits than she is used to. You feel powerless when you are judged by your skin color. When and how do you act as a mother in this situation?
Mother's White is about confusion of skin colours, privileges and the will to accept each other. Ryan Djojokarso knows better than anyone how to approach harrowing situations with humor. Danstheater Aya and Silbersee unite makers and performers from classical and urban backgrounds, focusing on the human voice.
