The creators of this devised production offer the audience four diverse stories about motherhood. Each of the stories is unique and authentic. The original space where the production takes place is a renovated apartment. It is almost empty, deserted and does not make the impression of a home. The actresses enter dressed identically – wearing comfortable sweatpants and white T-shirts. The audience members are visitors who find themselves in the very midst of testimonies about motherhood presented by four young mothers. One room, one space, one visit. The production collectively created by the actresses rejects romantic ideas about motherhood. The presented stories appeal to women, mothers, girls and men alike. They tell us everything about mothers that our society refuses to speak about openly.

About intimate details of motherhood, about unusual beauty and hidden doubts. About confusion and loneliness of motherhood. About children, their fathers, their parents and parents of parents. Where to find limit of mother? Why is it so difficult, if it is here from the very beginning? Was it always as it is, or we just think too much about it now ? Four mothers and their rooms.

Solo performance about women and their status in marriage in recent century; getting along with cultural stereotypes, facing misinterpretations of feminism, legal and social basis for women, reality of marriage
“in good times and bad”.
Inspired by the book of Dr. Margita Csaba
What should girl know before she gets married?
“ In times, when the greatest values of humankind were devalued, when many of sacred notions were dishonored, never ever before has femininity had as many enemies as nowadays.“
(Dr. Tihamér Tóth, 1943)
Is the real prosper of women in the public interest? Do modern women know, what is truly good for them? Carriere? Children? Marriage? Emancipation? Dinner´s ready, cookies in the oven?
