Information

Dear Badman

It’s that pop and oomph I desire

To wear your gestures as my garment

To rip off your faces

To taste your manners

To drink your spirit

To pet your ego

When you burn at the stake

I’ll rise from your ashes

Come to get under the spell of our distorted celebration of virility and new visions of manliness. Let’s break that charm.

«Badman» by T.I.T.S. is an audiovisual physical performance that welcomes the audience into the strange world that plays with masculinity and its power, reclaimed and twisted by a single female performer. The performance reflects male power domination and playfully explores the clichés of manliness with the wish to break them. A strong unapologetic female character is teasing the gender roles and the traditional binary.

The need for this performance existence is even stronger in the current world situation where the leaders like war-thirsty Putin or unscrupulous corrupted Trump have still a strong base of supporters. The question remains in the air. How come we still so easily fall for the bad man in politics? It seems it can happen to all of us.
