\nSunday May 28, 13:00-14:05A performance that breaks taboos surrounding the menstruating body!<\/p>\n
Mixing humour and seriousness, Mens<\/em> shines a light on the obvious and questions the things taken for granted when it comes to menstruation. It investigates menstruation as a symbol of the transition into adulthood and how a menstruating body is rendered a loser in a patriarchal society.<\/p>\n History is crawling with male scholars making claims about menstruation, but what form would society take if these men were themselves menstruating?<\/p>\n It is an informative and personal performance, based on the comic anthology Kvinnor ritar bara serier om mens (Women just draw comics about menstruation) and the personal experiences of the ensemble. It includes two actors, one angry period-monster \u2013 and an <\/em>omnichord! It is dedicated to all of you who are on or have had your period, all of you who are waiting for it to come, and all of you who will never get it….<\/p>\n Mens <\/em>premiered at Hagateatern in Gothenburg in 2015, followed by a nationwide tour.<\/p>\n The performance is aimed at an audience aged 15.
