Mother's Milk

Monodrama

Duration –

16+

Talented mother = crazy mother? Can a mother be judged at all? And understood? And forgiven?

How can you tell whether your mother loves you or whether work comes first for her?

How do you go on living when your world falls apart, and is there any point in living, working, fighting? How can a person regain a thirst for life, and is it even possible to do so?

A story about a mother and daughter, each with her own truth, her own pain, and her own love.

A story that connects the past and the present: the daughter lives her mother's life while reading her diary.

A story in which childhood impressions and adult experiences, bitterness and humor, anger and tenderness intertwine tightly.
