live art
PREGNANT?! is a multimedia solo performance work, delivered by a pseudo-pregnant male. It traces his overly intimate relationships taking place in and around his imaginary womb.
PREGNANT?! is to tour in 2010. For further information, please e-mail me.
".....So begins a beautifully surreal journey through the landscapes of worry, childhood memory, fairytale and complicated psychology....the miracle is that you have spent some time in Iriguchi’s wonderful head.” (**** Irish Times)
“Spanning 10,000 years, the piece tunnels into the darkest recesses of the human body to toy with expectations of space and time, gender and biology, birth and death.(*****Irish Theatre Magazine)
"tech-geek Mamoru Iriguchi wove an intricate and moving tale of life, death and birth subverted by bizarre imagery involving rabbits" Jon Pratty (The Guardian Theatre Blog)
"Pregnant is a really eventful live art moment, loaded with pathos, sardonic wit, shifting realities and digital curiosity." (Culture24)
