Description
What does it mean to be a man today? A good man, a good lover, a good son or a good father? After Désobéir, presented at the TNN in 2021, Julie Bérès gives shape to the second part of a diptych devoted to youth.
La Tendresse brings together a group of young men on stage who, through words and dance, tell the story of their lives, each in their own way shaking the models of virility they must embody and which constrain them.
With this show, Julie Berès, once again accompanied by authors Alice Zeniter and Kevin Keiss, questions the construction of masculinity across all social and intimate spheres: the family, the relationship to love, sexuality, work or social success... Whereas the young women in Désobéir often had to lie to others to emancipate themselves, the boys in La Tendresse have learned to lie to themselves to belong to the group. By opening up this space of vulnerability, the author and director sketches a sensitive portrait of a generation in search of new, freer and fairer ways of being.
