In a dream landscape outside the physical world, the mind and body floats between different mental states in the search of total liberation. With a background of dance and choreography, Moroccan-Swedish Director, Mona Namér came up with the title, 'while floating in a lagoon on the island Gotland. It relates to our mother, nature and water as a symbol of safety, transformation and the fluid we are born in, consist of, and that purifies us.' In collaboration with identity-inspired Chilean-Greek, Stockholm based Director Sofia Aedo Zahou, the two women set out to really unpack the crossovers of identity, vulnerability, struggle, exhaustion, dreams, the collective and balance, using Hip Hop, House and Modern dance.
A Bath In My Mother’s Womb is an experimental short that through dance, explores the stages of birth, chaos and stillness. Drawing inspiration from the process of metamorphosis and the caterpillars transformation in the cocoon to becoming a butterfly, the film acts as a metaphor for how essential introspection is for both nature and mankind to have the opportunity to heal and be reborn. The characters in the film move through different situations and explore an energetic and mental escapism as a form of coping.
