Description
abstractSynopsis:
This play uses the image of ＂mother＂ to stage the relationship between mother and children, reflecting the relationship between the Taiwanese and the Chinese motherland. (This information does not show up in the Chinese；is this the official English provided by the theatre troop?) This play displays mother-son, mother-daughter relationships through the eyes of three mothers, a little boy, a young girl and a woman. In contrast to the plain outfits of the children, the mothers are all dressed up in bright colors and wear huge wigs. The mothers begin their narrations with their painful remembering of giving birth, followed by their shared complex feelings of being a parent. They exchange their expectations and understandings of their own children. Their conversations intersperse with one another；topics change along with the maturing of their children culminating in the inevitable conflicts between mother and son/daughter. At the end of the play, the youngest boy dries a towel and passes on to other children until someone picks up the towel to clean the eldest lady’s face. The stage is set up by three rectangular frames and decorated with three mannequins. The stage design symbolizes the entanglements in mother-child relationship and sometimes functions to indicate the shifting of space and time.
