Elena-Maria Knapp & Katarina Hauser (A): “KEIN.MUTTER.LAND“

If women don’t become mothers and mothers can’t cope – a performance by Julia Jenewein

Motherhood is political. And so is the choice not to become a mother. From “It’ll happen sooner or later” to “You’ll regret it,” childless women or those who don’t intend to have children are often judged, while the “maternal instinct” is idealized and motherhood romanticized. With the most personal and intimate decision of their lives, women inevitably find themselves under public scrutiny, often losing their own voice. But what is motherhood really like? And what happens when one regrets becoming a mother? When one cannot become a mother, or when the biological clock doesn’t start ticking?

In this performance, two women openly confront all the (often taboo) issues surrounding reproduction and the ability to give life: from mental load to “regretting motherhood,” from pregnancy (and abortion) to birth culture. An intense and provocative evening that explores everything arising from the “question of all questions”: the one about children.

Event: Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at Piccolo Teatro Carambolage, starting at 8:00 PM.
