‘Rabenmütter!’*, a sharp whisper German mothers dread hearing behind their backs. It expresses the ongoing pressure to live only for your children.

In Raven, the collective still hungry pushes back against the idea that in order to be ‘good’ or ‘responsible’ parents must sacrifice their own identity, expression and amibitons. It’s a statement of intent to keep striving, a furious refusal to not be faded out by a youth obsessed industry.

Funny, moving and packed with adrenaline-fuelled acrobatics, Raven was created with UK performance maker Bryony Kimmings.

A punk pop ode of resistance against creaking patriarchal structures.
