The Kids Are Fine
Multidisciplinary performance The Kids are Fine explores how becoming a mother reshapes body, mind and social connections through movement, rhythm and light projection. Rather than romanticising the experience, this entertaining and thought-provoking piece embraces the full spectrum of contradictions that come with raising children. The Kids are Fine doesn’t offer easy answers but instead revels in the magnificent challenge of caring for young lives while discovering who you’re becoming in the process.

“How can we make visible the reality of young parents? How can we be more honest about the often-isolating experience of motherhood? Though surrounded by playgrounds, mothers often remain spectators, not participants, caught in cycles of care, invisible labour and the complex identity shift of matrescence. Could spaces of creativity for parents support them better?” Emma Zangs
