Mothers & daughters is a performance that highlights the collaboration between generations and the mother-daughter bond. An invitation to other forms of physical presence, and to an experiment around the poetry of ageing and relationships across generations.
Eszter Salamon is an artist, choreographer, and performer. She lives and works between Paris and Berlin, and received the Evens Foundation Prize in 2019 and 2020. She uses choreography as a means to navigate between different media such as sound, text, voice, image, body movements, and actions. Her work evolves through different formats and aesthetics, methodologies, and poetics, activating a broad spectrum of expressions.
