THREADS
Theater
We come into the world united by the umbilical cord that ties us to our mother in a unique bond. What happens to that thread later on? The cord is cut when we are born but the bond created between mother and child remains, like an invisible thread.
This tale is the story of my mother, a woman full of life, who gave birth to fourteen children linked to her by a thread.
A tale of her threaded braids when she was a girl and the threads that unraveled over time. Of the invisible threads that created an inseparable bond with her family.
Of the threads she created between her children and herself, and the heritage she left us so we could weave our own threads.
