---------------------------------------------

The most despicable things that I have ever experienced all trace back to the patriarchy. As a man, what am I going to do about it?

Emanating the presence of male change through the use of live vocal looping, video projection and autobiographical narrative, this solo theatre performance explores what place do the body, language, and improvised song have in the ritual of understanding and challenging patriarchal masculinity from within.

* Performed in English with subtitles / captions
* 50min screening of a performance recording followed by a Q&A with Jaka
* 12+
