MEMOIRS OF MUD

“I was forgiven and forgotten , in this world so rotten, Dropping like a hot potato, don’t call me a tomato.”

"Memoirs of Mud" is the touching journey of two ladies experiencing life’s diverse and juicy palette as they navigate through muddy terrain. With unique artistry and acrobatic skill, the duo unfolds a universe of dirt and plastic, exploring the polarity of the sanitised and the natural world.

Two wannabe farmers turn potatoes into crowns and handbags into greenhouses. They take the audience on an emotional journey from the wide horizon of childlike playfulness to deep despair, speaking about our relationship with our world and with one another. Always united in complicity, the bond of the two women helps us navigate through their fertile imagination – a not to miss adventure: provocative, playful, bold and beautiful.
