Description

How can you live, when a huge part of you is repressed? A thought-provoking show about men dealing with toxic masculinity and women dealing with men. Through interviews with male-identifying individuals and personal stories, the show vividly portrays the pain of not fitting in, the thrill of finding one's strength, the shame of misusing it, and the sorrow of not knowing how to cry. Powerfully performed by four women from Iceland and Finland, Them challenges audiences to question their own preconceptions and consider how we can work towards a world where everyone has the right to be themselves.
