Them by Spindrift

Them is a documentary theatre performance focusing on the contemporary male experience, performed by four female actresses. Based on interviews gathered around the Western world, Them explores how the changing image of a man and the variety of masculinities affect the male identity. As feminist women, we want to reach out for our brothers, husbands, fathers, friends and enemies and present the struggles they are facing through our bodies and voices. We want to shine light on the dark aspects of manhood through empathy and understanding. Them consists of three monologues performed in English, Swedish and Finnish.

Bus boner
committing a suicide
becoming a father
using his cast as a weapon
indulging in looking at women before he’s blind
being invisible in his suit
running for his life only to eat skyr and blueberries one more time
Them. Dem. He.
