Nurture
WAUHAUS x TTK
Nurture is a one-on-one performance that makes space for tenderness and vulnerability. It investigates the politics of care, gender and coexistence through the acts of caregiving and breastfeeding. Nurture questions social norms, softens body expectations, and calls viewers to perceive connections of a wider coexistence. It invites us to examine interactions between living things.
Nurture was originally produced by Reality Research Center and first premiered at ANTI Festival in Kuopio 2020.
