Mama Love
Presented By: Lea Whitcher. Part of Swiss Edinburgh Showcase by Pro Helvetia
Mama Love is a one-woman show in which Lea Blair Whitcher plays with the
absurdities of the idealised and toxic images of motherhood in which she
finds herself enmeshed. Against the backdrop of the 2020 Swiss vote on
granting new fathers a whole two weeks' paternity leave (18 years behind
the Brits' oh-so generous offer), Whitcher links lived experience with
current discourses on motherhood, thrashing out a path through a jungle of
everyday situations, social clichés and quizzical utopian models of life
in a society beyond the bounds of patriarchy.
