«Walwerdung» by Iris Keller

Description

While a new person is growing inside her, a woman transforms into a whale herself. In her monologue, Iris Keller unfolds pregnancy and birth as a body-shattering trip into her own interior and the depths of threatened oceans. Between whale song, labor pains, and the humming of the milk pump, «Walwerdung» tells of bodily change, vulnerability, and feminist anger – and asks how parenthood can be envisioned today in a world out of balance. «Walwerdung» is the musical theater adaptation of the novel of the same name by Iris Keller.
