Photo Flash: First Look at Christine Suarez in MOTHER.F***ER
By: BWW News Desk Oct. 26, 2012
Highways Performance Space and SuarezDanceTheater present the Los Angeles premiere of Mother.F***er. for a limited, three performance-only engagement October 26-27. What does it mean to be a mother? Christine Suarez wants to find out-and the result is a fearless, hilarious, irreverent and compelling evening of dance-theater that uncovers the myriad facets of maternity. BroadwayWorld has a first look below.
Being a mom, becoming a mom, sometimes loving it, sometimes hating it, embracing it and running away: that is the inspiration for Mother.F***er. Through her own stories and those of others-she incorporates interviews with over 50 women-Suarez exposes the duality of her personal experience as a parent and as an artist, and her struggle to balance the two roles.
Mother.F***er. is presented by Highways Performance Space, Leo Garcia, artistic director, and SuarezDanceTheater. Costume design is by Marie-France Drouin, production design is by Nathalie Renard and sound design by Phil Darovic.
Performances of Mother.F***er. take place on Friday, October 26 at 8:30 pm and on Saturday, October 27 at 3 pm and 8:30 pm. Tickets are $20, with $5 off for seniors and full time students with ID. Highways Performance Space is located at 1651 18th St., Santa Monica, CA 90404 (in the 18th Street Arts Center, one-half block north of Olympic Blvd.). For reservations and information, call (310) 315-1459 or go to www.highwaysperformance.org. Rated PG-13 for mature themes and language.
