Happy Birthday Mom
Inspired by true events, "Happy Birthday Mom HBDM,” is a groundbreaking multidisciplinary dance performance that delves into the pressing issues of law enforcement practices and police brutality. Through an innovative combination of original music, dance, animation, dialogue, and spoken word, this performance provides a poignant exploration of systemic injustices faced by marginalized communities.
The narrative follows a mother on her birthday who discovers her son is missing. In her desperate search, she encounters a harrowing experience when she is pulled over, assaulted, and arrested by a LaVernia police officer. Meanwhile, her son endures a constitutionally questionable interrogation by I.C.E., lasting three days. This one-hour presentation offers a raw and powerful look into the lives of working-class families and underscores the urgent need for criminal justice reform.
Jacque Salame emphasizes the importance of this narrative: "You are not alone. The violence that happened to you has happened to many of us. It is not your fault." This statement serves as a rallying cry for those affected by similar experiences and highlights the collective struggle for justice and recognition. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience a performance that seeks to challenge perceptions and inspire change.
