Masculine Tendersity is a deconstruction of gender from a trans lens, showcasing acts of tender love and care through dance, theatre, and more! In this new work you’ll see explorations of masculine culture in football, binge drinking, the line between wanting to kiss your best friend and fight, brother to brother rivalry, and deadly competition.
