MEN SAVING WOMEN is a theatre coupé performance, the first "season" of a theatrical series of short plays. This first "season" humorously highlights the dynamics between the two sexes, through the prism of the diverse definitions that both masculinity and femininity imply and contain. Is the myth (or stereotype) of the knight on a white horse upheld or dismantled, viewed in a mirror or overturned. Do women need to be saved? And men? Saved from what and by whom?
Through these short theatrical episodes, the show (and the entire theatrical series) aims to convey the idea that, although life is chaotic and often incoherent, there is an underlying red thread that connects everything to everything, like an electric circuit.
