If boys don’t cry, do they dry up? Or do they become clammy, their insides soggy, festering in the rancid juices of their own unshed tears?
Aimed at those identifying as male but open to anyone who owns or can get hold of an onion, an invitation to journey down the rabbit-hole within and explore your personal relationship to crying. A poetic audio wandering around science, psychology, gender politics and art that hopes to contribute to the eventual tearing down of the patriarchy, drip by drip. Best experienced alone, this show asks you to recover the dark art of self healing through exuding salty liquid from your eyes and revel in the curious power of being vulnerable.
I Want To Make Grown Men Weep was programmed as part of Camden People’s Theatre’s Sprint Digital festival 2021.
