Mom, My Arm Got Torn Off

So here’s the plan. Go from modeling school to Moscow for a competition. Then, when you grow up, get a cat and a huge dog – the kind with bangs covering its eyes. Become a mathematician and tackle the problems Lewis Carroll posed in Alice. Walk at night, run in the rain without an umbrella, splash through puddles as hard as you can…

Mom, My Arm Got Torn Off is a sharply contemporary text about a sixteen-year-old girl, Masha, who cannot find her place in the world. She feels alienated from both her peers and the adults around her.

Growing up and loneliness, attempts to love oneself and to criticize, the desire to be different – together with Masha, the audience enters the coordinate system of adolescence, trying to understand its actions and logic. This sketch seeks not only to understand, but also to help.
