ALPHA WHO?
We're struggling to define masculinity in today's modern society, which expects men to be able to share their feelings and be vulnerable after generations of masculine repression.
But how do we share? If we're to heal wounds that men hold within themselves, we must first explore how to engage with the feminine within.
Part theatre, part dance and part visual art installation Alpha Who? is a solo piece that plays with language, and fuses modern dance with physical theatre.
With scenography by painter Saverio Tonoli, Alpha Who? is a performance that takes you on a personal journey to battle the cultural pressures to conform.
You'll meet five characters: Truthful Self, Control Freak, Laid Back Guy, Invasive Avoider and Child.
Together we'll explore what other Beings live inside us,
Can men be both masculine and feminine? Can you be something more?
Audience responses to performances-in-progress:
"Physically astonishing."
"The energy blew my mind."
