Part of Antirassistische Kämpfe versammeln, archivieren und aktivieren at Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1) theater, Berlin

An event Series from VerSammeln: Antirasistische Kämpfe and HAU Hebbel am Ufer

In this performance, Liraz analyzes her relation to her maternal ancestors, and to the concept of Mother Tongues / Mother Milk, and its functions as a way to transmit knowledge further. By investigating the different aspects of Mother Tongues(s), she creates a representation of the multitude of belongings and the erasure and revival of knowledge and (post)memory, connected to loss and trauma, in a critical point of view towards meanings of Jewish identities in contrast to national structures and ideas.
