2016 – Present
Pecho Mama are a band and a theatre company. Their debut production, Medea Electronica, is a wild and imaginative retelling of the ancient Greek tragedy, set in the technological turbulence of 1980’s England.
​
With the discovery of her husband’s deceit and betrayal, Medea is driven to embark on a journey of savage revenge and destruction.
​
This intense drama plays out amidst an electrifying live gig; an all original mash up of contemporary Electronica and 80’s inspired progressive rock.
