Motherhood

We all have one thing in common: we all have (or have had) a mother. She is the giver of life, a symbol of love and nurture. In this festival many dimensions and aspects of motherhood are explored. Music that strengthens the tender bond between mother and child… or offers comfort in times of grief. Mary, the prototypical mother of Christian culture, is most iconically depicted in a pietà. In Queen (M)other, Dalilla Hermans talks about migrant mothers who sacrifice themselves to give their children maximum opportunities. Djuwa Mroivili regards motherhood metaphorically: you can be involved in the birth of a project, idea, movement… Fifty shades of motherhood: as an ode to the source of us all.
