Filmvoorstelling 'Making Men: Masculinity, Myth and Paradox'

Dive into the rhythmic world of contemporary dance with the multidisciplinary performance Making Men, preceded by a short dance film. Making Men explores the meaning of masculinity.

Four African dancers delve into this theme through a powerful, rhythmic choreography that also radiates softness and sensitivity. Can the failure to conform to the stereotypical image of masculinity and the roles imposed on men lead to the discomfort and violence seen among young men in many societies today? Are they free to be who they want to be, or are they being boxed in?

Making Men is a film consisting of four choreographic scenes. Each scene represents a phase or transition in a man's life. The film was shot in the breathtaking landscape of Zimbabwe. The special cinematography enhances the emotions expressed in the dance. Making Men is also a dance performance created during the preparation of the film; each part of the film corresponds to a choreographic part of the performance.
