MOTHERS A SONG FOR WARTIME of Marta Górnicka, this is the proposition of big theatrical and political power.
Manuel Piolat Soleymat, LA TERASSE

This hour is an eternity and overwhelming dread.
You have seen and experienced things for which there are no words. About which they speak and sing here together, in a clear and strict form with an attitude that moves and shocks.
Rüdiger Schaper, TAGESSPIEGEL

Human greatness against the brutality of war.
This evening is a choral tale from the strength of the individual, which tells of dark violence and ends in bright humanity.
Doris Meierhenrich, BERLINER ZEITUNG
“Marta Górnicka’s miracle weapon against the war in the Berlin Maxim Gorki Theatre”

In MOTHERS artist Marta Górnicka proposes powerful political reactivation of antique chorus.

*****
5 stars for MOTHERS
The latest incarnation of Marta Górnicka’s choral project is a strong, moving, perfectly constructed and performed statement by woman experienced by war and dictatorship
Aneta Kyzioł, POLITYKA

Shchedrivka performed by a choir of grandmothers, mothers, and daughters is simply moving. And for several reasons. Firstly, because it is about regaining the voice and the place where this voice can be heard. Secondly, because it contains wishes for all of us. Thirdly, because of the tribute to the tradition of Ukrainian singing, a living voice that pierces and deeply touches. This singing is a space which cannot be appropriated. And this voice is a voice that, despite everything, cannot be silenced.
Wiktoria Tabak, DIDASKALIA
