Charged with combative power and emotional tension, productions of Political Mother have swept through arts festivals in the UK, France, Germany and Australia. Dancers raise their fists and roar, move between roles of criminal and warrior, and live in the shadow of a dictatorial figure who whips up emotions like a rock star. With these potent allegories and social references, and Shechter’s self-composed score juxtaposing classical music with driving rock, Political Mother sculpts its furious, ever-shifting, shuffling sequences into a primal and profound contemporary dance experience saturated with mesmeric brilliance.
