My Mother Had Two Faces: Reflections on Beauty, Aging and Acceptance at The Zephyr Theatre

MY MOTHER HAD TWO FACES MAKES ITS WORLD PREMIER AT THE ZEPHYR THEATRE IN HOLLYWOOD ON DECEMBER 10TH

An autobiographical one-woman dramatic comedy that dares to expose what lies beneath the mask of the perfect mother. Discovering her mother’s diaries after her passing, Karin, the heroine, begins to examine the history of their complicated relationship from the gritty, urban streets of New York to her Swiss mother’s manicured orderliness.

The story follows her mother’s exodus from her homeland to pursue stardom, and how her fixation with beauty and outward appearances influenced Karin’s sense of worth. Engaged in dialogue with her mirrored reflection, Karin wrestles with her own inner demons. What does the mirror uncover when we strip away the makeup?

A humorous and poignant journey of self-reflection, this show is sure to resonate with anyone struggling with a conflicted parental relationship. Presented in a pseudo-fairytale style, utilizing multimedia and theatrical masks, "My Mother Had Two Faces" tips the Disney delusion on its head.

Karin Trachtenberg, writer and performer, has appeared in professional theaters throughout New England and beyond performing major roles in Greek Drama and Shakespeare productions. As an actor, director and producer, Karin has championed countless new plays from staged readings to full productions. She is focused on creating opportunities for women-centered storytelling which fosters healthy dialogue about difficult issues.
