Virago-Man Dem navigates black masculinities through movement, and spoken language and visual design. Troubling the term Virago‘s reference to characteristically male behaviors and female cultural transgressions, Virago-Man Dem is a nuanced study in the multiplicities of masculinity within cultures of Caribbean and African American communities. The work is based on the lives of its performers, Duane Cyrus, Jonathan Gonzalez, Shamar Watt, and Niall Noel Jones, and moves from their specific experiences to broader cultural trajectories.
