Mother Tongue
The First Generation ensemble’s production of “Mother Tongue” is one of the most powerful performances I have seen to take the stage of the Shea Theater. I filmed and edited their last production at the Shea a few years ago, and while the raw and vulnerable confessionary monologues were impactful then, their intense and relatable stories of displacement and migration feel more important now than ever. Many of these young performers began working with the Performance Project as young refugees, and some are still working with the ensemble, some 10 years later. I highly encourage all readers to watch not only their captivating performance, but to continue watching through to their audience talk-back. Their purity of spirit is refreshing and provides a hopeful testament to the power of art. You can find this year’s performance as well as the 2023 film on MCTV’s Vimeo channel. And be sure to keep a look out for another live performance soon.
If board meetings are what you’re looking for, you know what to do.
All MCTV videos are aired on Channel 9, as well as featured on the MCTV Vimeo page.
