Sarah Vanhee/CAMPO

MÉMÉ

Mémé is a solo performance by Sarah Vanhee, with guest appearances by puppets, ghosts and a child. An intergenerational, layered and multilingual work about the relationship to ancestors, to the (birth) soil and to the female body, starring the spirit of Vanhee’s West Flemish grandmothers, who like many women of the time spent most of their lives on ‘labour’ – in the two meanings of the word: bearing and raising children and working in the home and ‘in the fields’ – always in the service of others.
