Smashing the patriarchy too much like hard work?
It doesn't have to be.
Queer performance makers Tom and Oonagh offer an alternative vision of gender and posit concrete solutions that liberate boys and men. Give Me Your Skin is a participatory show where parlour games meet feminism in a quest to resist masculinity at its most toxic.
Written and performed by the pair who met over a decade ago, this is a playful and intimate performance about solidarity, coming out, finding your voice, and, in the face of mass global turmoil, being kind to one another as a radical act.
Men cannot change if there aren't blueprints for change - bell hooks
