Mothers Myths Monsters: Matrophobia is a collection of short performance works created as part of Theaterlab’s residency series focused on the comforting and sometimes terrifying figure of the Mother. Curated by dancer-choreographer Stefanie Nelson, this year’s project, Matrophobia, deals with the fear of becoming like one’s own mother and features pieces by Maya Orchin, Boris Willis, and Maria Takeuchi (ÉMU). The program includes a solo dance “flip” by Orchin, performed by Nelson; a multimedia project “Hey Mu!” by Willis that utilizes animation and virtual projections in a 3D environment, mixing sounds, photos, and videos of the artist’s mother and maternal grandmother; and an audiovisual piece “undulation” by ÉMU that expresses the repetitive yet irregular myths of the mother by capturing the movement and the sound of the ocean.
