SYNOPSIS:

WARNING: Motherhood is not for the faint of heart...and neither is this play.

Meat Suit, or the shitshow of motherhood is a gloriously genre-defying theatrical carnival that plunges audiences into the raw, hilarious chaos of being a mom. Performed by mothers for mothers, or those who love mothers, or simply those who have mothers, this play blends bouffon-inspired physicality, sharp satire, original songs, and total absurdity. Beneath the bedlam and humor, Meat Suit confronts a deeper theme: how every birth triggers quiet deaths — the mother’s autonomy, sense of self, and personal desire — and whether anything of the person she was survives. Come laugh, cringe, and cry through the unfiltered mess no one warned you about.
