Sweet Mama
Event description
Sweet Mama was born to combat an invisible enemy slowly and painfully eradicating her people. Armed with ancient knowledge, future technology and excellent dance moves, she embarks on the greatest battle of her life; to beat the monster from inside her mother’s body.
Writer/creator, lyricist and genre-defying theatre maker Candy Bowers has delved into the medical, scientific and socio-political nature of the greatest disease disproportionately affecting black and brown people globally, in Australia, and in her own family - type 2 diabetes. Utilising her childhood love of sci-fi fantasy, 80's video games, afrobeat music and classic theatre training, this production explores what it might take to break the cycle now reaching epidemic proportions.
