Tantehorse: S(T)Igma

Maybe I'm not the problem.

A post-punk document for three (male) voices.

Because I like cars, machines and cowboys, but I don't understand why that should define masculinity. Because I look at breasts and butts. Because I last cried over pepper spray. Because I'm not entirely sure what it means to be a man. Because I'm afraid of a radicalizing society. Because I don't understand the need to be ALPHA at any cost.

S(t)IGMA is a post-punk performance about what it's like to grow up as a young man today - about solitude that sometimes turns into anger, about the pressure of simple slogans from the depths of the internet, and about the ever-returning question of how to be a "proper guy". What if it wants to be completely different?
