The outset for this performance is the life of The Sworn Virgins in Albania, the last men-woman of Europe. In WoManHood we treat the physical borderline between woman-man.

 

The project is blending contemporary circus, documentary and sound. Through complex situations, it aims to combine fiction and reality on stage to shift our perspective on identity and gender.

​

We believe that crossing art forms generates a wider space of creativity and breaks down boundaries between each art form. WoManHood is a modern portrait of women's survival methods in a patriarchal society.
