Eszter Salamon Mothers & Daughters

Eszter Salamon MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS

In collaboration with Sulekha Ali Omar and Safia Abdi Haase, Christine Nypan and Drude Haga.

MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS is a performance that highlights the collaboration between generations and the mother-daughter bond. An invitation to other forms of physical presence, and to an experiment around the poetry of ageing and relationships across generations.

With MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS, Eszter Salamon pursues the work she began with her mother and shares it with two other mothers and daughters, leading to the development of a "school of touch". Freeing herself from a supposedly 'natural' feminine bond, Salamon imagines new forms of physical presences.

How can a choreographic approach to the mother-daughter relationship come into contact with the personal and collective imagination? By doing away with all forms of Freudian psychoanalytic hypothesis, she conjures up, in the present and in the feminine form, a new field of possibilities that puts the emphasis on the practice of care, solidarity and transmission of knowledge.
