“You have made a profound difference in my life. Your writing group was the catalyst for me to fully acknowledge my pain AND address it. I’m writing, I’m posting, I’m not ashamed. I’m coming into my own. Look what you’ve done!” - A.S.
Un-M-Othered: Storytelling For Social Change
Winner - Best Autobiographical Show United Solo Festival 2022
“Liz DeBetta has created an incredibly poignant, important performance piece providing unique insight into the trauma of adoption from the inside out, beautifully told through words and movement.”
“Dr. Liz DeBetta’s one-woman performance entitled ‘UN-M-OTHERED’, wow! What a work of both physical and emotional intensity, a depiction of the agony and chaotic inner world of an adoptee. It so clearly and powerfully portrays the journey from the primal wound of maternal separation — the trauma, longing, and dissociation from self — into reunion and healing. Such an honor to share in that vulnerability and see the collective emotions around family separation expressed on stage. ”
“I had the wonderful privilege of being in the audience twice for the fabulous performance of Un-M-Othered by Dr. Liz DeBetta. As an adoptive parent of a child who came to my family as an infant, I believe all adoptive parents would benefit greatly from witnessing Dr. DeBetta’s performance. Dr. DeBetta really helps us understand some of the feelings our children might be experiencing that they, perhaps, feel they cannot share with us, their parents, directly. Dr. DeBetta’s performance helps adoptive parents be on the lookout for many of the feelings their children might be experiencing and the performance and the talk back afterwards offer very useful ways about how we might even become better parents to our children. Un-M-Othered truly was an amazing performance.”
