MEarth MOthers

We dare to ask big questions: why are we wrecking the world and what are we going to do about it?

MEarth MOthers are a trio of climate clowns in extraordinary mycelial costumes. They erupt from the stomach of Mother Earth to storm the streets leaving a trail of plastic waste and tarred teddies. The world as we know it is going down and the MOthers are having a noxious knees-up! They laugh at us swinging between activism and hard-to-break habits, alone on our small, polluted island.

Why do we consume so much, why are we wrecking the world and what are we going to do about it? MEarth MOthers have a physical, fungal response through comedy, music, puppetry, dance and shamanic ritual.

MEarth MOthers is presented by Beady Eye who are Total Theatre Award and Arches Brick winners. Beady Eye/Kristin Fredricksson have toured indoors shows to the Barbican (BITE), nationally and internationally. Their work is devised multimedia performance including video, movement, puppetry and strong visual and storytelling elements.
