Mums at The Lion and Unicorn Theatre

a wonderful tragic family

a bubble
grief
waiting

They thought this moment would change everything. But does it?

Mums is a poetic and delicate look into the state of grieving, following one family in their attempt to adjust to a new reality. Inspired by Jean-Luc Lagarce’s play J'étais dans ma maison et j'attendais que la pluie vienne, the piece is a collage of different original texts, songs and movement, interwoven and devised by the company. The five performers take the audience on a journey through the characters’ grief, memories and stories, asking what pain is and inviting them to deepen their awareness of this universal state.
