You No Good Mutha... Hush Yo Mouth

My friends all agree that the our favorite swear word when used with the specific intonation is Mother F**ker. Nothing gets your ears percolating or mouth agape when you hear the word delivered; imagine our reaction when we researched the origin of this word. My new 45 min evening-length work, Mutha/Mother reveals the untold fact of America's breeding plantations during slavery. Mutha/Mother captures a story of a breeding plantation's African slave family's silent pain, endurance of this atrocious act of capitalism and power, and how the affect tormented and haunted their family linage. Using inventive contemporary modern that invigorates and fuses the cakewalk /minstrel dances, Mutha/ Mother is an unapologetic physical dance work.
