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" was performed in San Francisco in 2023, and will have its Southern California premiere in 2025. A live video capture of San Francisco performance is available for streaming on Vimeo.
