The discussion will focus on relationships, emotions and experiences that exist both on stage and beyond it. The starting point will be the participants’ personal reflections on relationships, moments of transformation, and the ideas of apology and masculinity that their involvement in the project has brought to the surface.

Our interest lies not so much in the performance itself, but in what it leaves behind. The conversation will explore how men experience emotional presence, intimacy and connection with another person; what moves them, what they find themselves confronting, and how these experiences shape the way they think about themselves, their relationships and contemporary masculinity.

There will be no predetermined script. An essential part of the meeting will be listening to one another, responding to the stories shared by fellow participants and building reflections in dialogue with those experiences. This will not be an expert debate or a traditional panel discussion, but an open conversation about emotions, relationships and the many different ways of experiencing masculinity.
