About the show
The piece uses the masculine appearance of the three male dancers and tries to open their gender
boundaries, to redefine the maximal masculine and maximal feminine and the norms of those two.
The work explores and folds the "natural" into the produced "ready-made by tracing the power,
violence, delicacy, sexuality and their cravings. It questions our definitions on men and heroism, as
expected to be, and put the brave and the heroic on a pedestal but the reason of their heroism is empty and disconnected from context. The piece exposes androgynous creatures who do not know what role they must play if they adhere to their transient purpose - men and heroes.
