ILA

What does it mean to be a woman? And who defines manhood? In today's world the roles of women and men are being renegotiated. The gender narrative is frequently rewritten and retold, sometimes with new belief systems and sometimes with the rediscovery of ancient woman/man wisdom. There exists in these transient and transitional spaces of him and her, a dynamic chorus of confused and perplexed story-tellers who revel in the grey areas of masculinity and femininity. Ila is a devised piece that looks at gender, its related myths and dilemmas and the importance they play in our lives today. With ever-changing landscapes and leaps in time, this androgynous chorus takes the audience through a provocative, playful and exciting journey that questions what it means to "be a woman/man and everything in between".
