Mamá Pulpo, or Octopus Mama as a title, points out the chaotic yet loving reality of motherhood with the help of an apt and humorous analogy.
The symbolism of the octopus: eight arms with which it tries to control everything at once.
"Mamá Pulpo" is an ironic name for a "super mother" for whom eight arms would not be enough.
A fun yet profound performance about the chaos, joys and pains of becoming a mother. Humour, acrobatics and surreal scenes can see this multifaceted, but often taken for granted, role as a mirror.
Balancing emotions on a thin rope – funny and just as unstable as motherhood itself.
