MISSA MAMA NOVA Production house Theater Rotterdam - Timo Tembuyser

MISSA MAMA NOVA is changing the tradition of Holy Mass with discriminatory norms from within. A choir concert about femininity with songs and sermons, broken up with dance and movement. A mass for healing and celebration.

A dancer weaves in and out of the norm of woman as mother while a choir of six sons roams around her. In the absence of the Father, they break away from patriarchal Christian traditions and search for their own mature voice. A flutist breathes and controls the polyphonic body of performers. MISSA MAMA NOVA is a theater reworking of Timo's previous work MISSA MATER SOLA with new material and a new cast.
