One by one, then together, they break the silences, shatter taboos in a funny and offbeat way, and give voice to what we dare not say.<div> Five women (or almost) burst onto the stage with raw truth. One by one, then together, they break the silences, unearth the intimate, shatter taboos in a funny and offbeat way, and give voice to what we dare not say.</div><div><br></div><div> Viril(es) stems from an intimate and collective observation: behind displays of strength, behind silences and posturing, there is often an unspoken need for love. Here, Marie Mahé questions this masculinity that is displayed, performed, and sometimes imposed like armor. Not to condemn it, but to explore its flaws, wounds, and origins. Masculinity is not just a matter of gender; it is also a social construct deeply linked to context: the family environment, peer pressure, precariousness, and invisible legacies. The performance attempts to forge a connection between generations, social classes, and identities. To say that, despite our differences, we all share the same need: to be loved, recognized, and accepted for who we are.</div><div><br></div>
