Us and Men

What makes a man? What makes a good man? What kind of men would we want to be?

Emma and Rose have an interesting relationship with Men. Emma spent her early 20s locked in a basement creating a male identity with binding and he/him pronouns. Rose battled the turmoil of wanting gay men to be attracted to her as a man, not as a woman. Both were drawn to the idea of being something queer from a safe distance away. Now they have drawn on beards and are becoming Vincent Van Gosh and Ben Brose.  

​

Us and Men puts our personal relationships with masculinity under the magnifying glass. Combining spoken word, physical theatre, lip sync and autobiography, Us and Men is a drag extravaganza from start to finish. 

​

From Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt Sekhet’s to the non-binary discourse of today, Us and Men is a f*ck you to conformity. It delves deep into gender theory and confusion, while celebrating freedom and expression, in direct contrast with the current tide of anti-trans sentiment rife in the UK government following the decision to block Scotland’s Gender Recognition Reform bill.
