Beyond Words

What if you created a world where weakness is the ultimate courage?

A universe where you don’t have to be strong, omniscient and efficient. Where moments of weakness, tears and doubts are accepted. Where the unforced closeness of another person builds lasting and solid foundations for interpersonal relationships.

Beyond Words is a meditation on finding vulnerability and tenderness in the brutal world of male archetypes. The artists will tell a story based on their experiences of masculinity, rejecting the patriarchal world of toxic masculinity and clichés built by society.

We make no theses. We’re not making a manifesto. Questions will remain unanswered. The unknown will triumphantly enter the stage and will tell a story of impotence and sentiment.
