One Week Until TESTOSERONE - True Story of Life After Gender Transition - Opens in London
Masters of pulp-cinematic visual theatre Rhum & Clay return to New Diorama Theatre this November with a completely new type of project; a semi-autobiographical look at the construct of masculinity, written and performed by renowned female-male transgender actor and writer Kit Redstone and told through Rhum & Clay's inimitably distinct theatrical lens.
One year after his first injection of testosterone, transman Kit is perceived completely as a man.
However, with this triumph comes a crisis of masculinity; what kind of man is he?
Testosterone is the true story of Kit Redstone's first entrance into a male gym changing room at the age of 33. What first appears as a routine ritual of four men changing after a workout transforms into an epic coming of age quest for masculine identity in an environment that affords little space to hide.
The piece will bring together two distinctive devising and performing styles, fusing Kit Redstone's direct address delivery style with Rhum and Clay's ability to put characters' complex inner workings on the stage with the innovative use of movement and visuals.
As well as a compelling, fast-paced, often funny story, Testosterone provides a rare, truthful and theatrically ambitious insight into what it means to be a "man" from someone who has inherited the identity, rather than been born with it.
