Weaving Me, Weaving Mum
The Great Her (UK/China)
Award-winning dance theatre exploring the invisible threads between mothers
and daughters. Through movement, hand-knitted costume and visual metaphor,
Weaving Me, Weaving Mum tells an intimate story of female growth, trauma
and reconciliation, drawn from the director’s personal experience across
generations. Created by Yuqiu, a playwright, director and textile-based
artist, this compelling piece crafts a deeply emotional narrative through
fabric, memory and movement. Produced by The Great Her, a female-led
collective founded by Jiayi Chen. ‘It left me in tears’ (Audience Review).
The 2025 edition introduces new handmade costumes and a cross-cultural
female cast.
