Have you ever watched a great YouTube video and thought: I wonder what that might look like live? Israeli choreographer Renana Raz responds to YouTube videos on stage with her company YouMake ReMake, bringing new light to the original works.

Now, LABA: A Laboratory for Jewish Culture brings Raz from Israel to New York to participate in their production "Mother.net", which responds to mother-themed YouTube clips through dance, theater and music.  We spoke with Raz to find out more about YouMake ReMake, artists' responses to their Youtube videos being remade, and what to expect from "Mother.net".

StageBuddy: When did you fist start YouMake ReMake?

YouMake Remake first premiered in July 2010. After the first installment I understood that I could create an even deeper and more sophisticated interaction with the concept and on the stage. I continued to work and create. YouMake ReMake is still growing and developing and for me this is only the beginning of endless creative options and outlets embedded in the concept.

SB: Which mother-themed YouTube clip are you most excited about sharing? Why?

I think that the interesting and thought provoking moments in the performance don't emerge because of a specific clip but rather because of the conversation between the theatrical happening and the clip. I am excited about the big variety of clips that were chosen because of their different angles and sensitivities around the theme of MOTHER, which can be so well known and so charged and complex.

SB: Have any of the YouTube artists reached out after seeing their work remade?

Yes, there were a few people who I sent taped parts of the performance which included their clips. The responses were always very excited and warm. Through YouTube I feel that I can collaborate with an immense amount of people that I don't know and I couldn't have known about without YouTube.

SB: What will audiences walk away with after witnessing Mother.net?

I am sure that each audience member will think about his mother, will remember shared experiences, conversations and moments from his or her past. I also think that the performance will make them reflect about the eternity of the concept, the word itself but also what it represents. The simplicity and the complexity of being and experiencing Mother, and the universality of the concept.
