Hans Christian Andersen’s tale is given a macabre telling in Arthur Pita’s new dance work. The Mother is a powerful, narrative dance production choreographed anddirected by Arthur Pita - a master storyteller. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s dark tale, The Story of a Mother, this sumptuously designed production stars international dance superstar Natalia Osipova and multiaward- winning dancer Jonathan Goddard.

This is an inventive new production which conjures up a dangerous, kaleidoscopic world, combining narrative dance and drama. In setting out to save her sick child a young mother journeys into the unknown to face life and death. Will she succumb to the forces of evil, or will the power of motherhood prevail?
