Mamma

February 2000 · 20 min.

MAMMA is a short and personal presentation about being a woman of our times. About women’s contradictions, wishes, desires and ambitions versus maternity. With irony and humour, MAMMA depicts some archetypical aspects of femininity: motherhood and the monthly change of moods and desires.

The set is minimalistic, yet still drawing a dramatic picture of a bleeding woman; a woman in her menstrual period, or even finding herself in a the middle of an abortion…
