The Last Mother

Joe Bakhmoutski in collaboration with Mammad Aidani

The Last Mother is a poetic and physically driven work set in the final remnants of a war-torn world. 

Inside a mudroom, a mother speaks to memory, loss, and the unseen presence of those she loved and held close.

Blending ritual, movement, and voice, the work explores the body as a witness to time - past, present, and what remains possible.

This is not a story of war, but of what we take with us: it’s the memory, hope, and being here.
