The performance is a continuation of personal research on motherhood, its physicality, movement/stillness and socio-political themes. The author blurs the boundaries of distinguishing between the process of production and reproduction using processed fragments of reality. The leading theme around which the author re/produces meanings/contexts/stereotypes and expectations is breastfeeding. The starting point is a play on words from the combination of the term mother and the act of suckling.
