Unprincipled Readings. Stories About Moms
Actresses and media stars read funny, sad, philosophical, and most importantly, lively monologues from modern parents with their worries, simple and complex questions and emotions at the same time. They are "imperfect", and that is why they are the best for their children. The goal of the project is to show that it is possible! Monologues will draw a lot of recognizable pictures in front of the viewer: parents are making school crafts for a child at night, a mother gives her beloved child a coveted dance costume at the last moment before the performance, and a mother and daughter skip work and study to explain themselves together to their superiors and a strict class teacher. Viewers will also find funny and recognizable stories about how disturbing it is to wash in the bathroom while a child is watching a cartoon and how the first experience of motherhood differs from the third.
