DIE NACHT IN DER WIR MÄNNER WURDEN (THE NIGHT WE BECAME MEN)
Performance Social/Urban Movements Theatre & Performance
Die Nacht in der wir Männer wurden is an entertaining performance at the FFT Foyer, with nightlife vibes, drag, and live music. “Is this masculine?,” the (i)dentityteam asks, circling through answers from a non-binary and trans-male perspective. In it, the performers borrow from a vast palette of show elements such as choreography, stand-up comedy, acting, and cross-dressing. Humorous and raw, they work on themes like identity forming, puberty, coming out, and transition.
