Man Lessons: The Live Show
Performed by Adam Rohe / Film by Ben Sarten
A coming of age story that transcends the patriarchy, values wellbeing over sanity, and absolves you of the pressure to “just be yourself".
Over the past six years, a feature length documentary has been in production following Adam Rohe’s transition. In this brand-new live show, Rohe takes us through the wild and earnest behind-the-scenes.
Man Lessons is a bold, beautiful film by close friend and filmmaker Ben Sarten, who has followed Adam through doctor’s appointments, surgeries, psychosis, and the day-to-day.
Captivating storytelling and documentary that celebrates finding empowerment in the making of one’s self.
UPDATE: FRIDAY 19TH OF AUGUST PERFORMANCE AS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO CAST SICKNESS.
