About

“Eat the Mama” is a solo theater piece that explores Jessica Mele's experience as a “mother." Through the metaphor of interstellar space, the piece pulls apart notions of gender, female body parts, and the dissonance between who Mele thought she was, and who she became after giving birth. "Eat the Mama" will be performed in San Francisco in 2023, and elsewhere in California in 2024. A live video capture of the performance will be made publicly available online in 2024.
