The Exponential Festival and The Brick present
MOMMA!
Akane Little
at Brick Aux Studio
January 29-31, 2026

MOMMA! is an evening-length dance theater solo mining codependency in the context of an Asian American mother-daughter relationship. The piece explores inherited trauma; partial memory; and the slippages between safety and primal fear. Sonic ordeal, physical feats of endurance, ambiguous embodiments, gore, and masturbation are interrupted with humor, campy lip syncs, and rigorous physical comedy, propelling the narrative to a climactic encounter between self and (m)other.​

Devised, directed & performed by Akane Little
Dramaturgy by Che’Li and Benja Thompson
Lip Sync Choreography by Aeon Andreas
Music Edits by Akane Little, Michael Chinworth, and Drew Sensue-Weinstein
