Language no problem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one knows how to start a fire anymore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dancer and playwright Gaja Caruso performs her new show, Men of Meat and Fire<\/em>, her very first solo performance. In it, she explores the breaking point of the radicalizing person with intensely-felt choreography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men of Meat and Fire<\/em> is a multidisciplinary dance performance about a man who claims no one knows how to start a fire anymore, a man who places himself outside of society. Men of Meat and Fire<\/em> is a performance about loneliness, misogyny, self-hatred and the crisis of masculinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Gaja Caruso found a man’s diary full of reflections on the book \u201cThe Game\u201d by pick-up artist Neil Strauss. She became fascinated by his writing and delved further into the world of incels (in<\/em>voluntary cel<\/em>ibates<\/em>): people with the inability to find a romantic or sexual partner but would like to.
Men of Meat and Fire<\/em> embodies the mind of an incel. How does the woman in the head of an incel move? And what is her breaking point?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaja Caruso is a solid fixture in Explore the North’s programming with her exciting interdisciplinary work. She is developing into one of the North’s most important choreographers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is made possible by Station Noord, Grand Theatre and Club Guy & Roni. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
