About the play
Mother’s Day is a powerful, intimate and socially engaged drama about the relationship between mother and daughter, but also much more – it is the story of generations of women shaped by historical upheavals, political shifts and personal wounds. Marked by three key turning points – World War II, the early 1970s, and the fall of the Berlin Wall – the play explores transgenerational trauma, motherhood, the role of women in public and private spaces, and questions of personal identity in the shadow of social expectations.
The encounter of mother and daughter after eighteen years both separates and unites their worldviews, political experiences, and emotional burdens. Both protagonists are agents of their own histories, active participants in social processes, not just passive observers.
Mother’s Day avoids simplification and black-and-white portrayals; instead, it offers a nuanced, complex perspective on women who act, think, and feel.
