The eggs we don’t lay ourselves

This performance is about laying eggs.
This performance is about not laying eggs.

This is a story about your eggs that you lay every month. About her eggs that you eat every day. About my eggs.

This is not a story.

Affected by the ecological crisis, three female performers question the choice of human reproduction.
We grieve – for the loss of nonhuman lives and for the eggs we don’t get to lay.
Lacking a common mourning ritual, we turn to our birds for inspiration.

We connect and disconnect through objects, movement, odd gestures, sporadic text, and music.
We seduce and we bake a cake.
