The video performance was developed in three acts that connect the expected performance of Men in heteronormative societies. Each of these acts are also rooted on expectations on which roles Men should play in society tracing back to thousands of years and generations, and which still rule gender dynamics contemporarily, at least up to some degree, although the socio-economical conditions of humanity have increased in many societies over the last century. Although reconfigurations of gender performance and slight progress in gender parity also took place in the last 100 years, the expected role of the Men is still attached in a level or another to such qualities. | The video performance was developed in three acts that connect the expected performance of Men in heteronormative societies.

Although some ancient societies had a way more parity space for women than in others, also considering that the women could also often have been a warrior herself, across human history in planet earth the role of the Men was always connected to its quality of protecting its geographic space, its community and family. Historically, this quality was not to be underrated, but in the current state of gender-technological development, the importance of this state might indeed be questioned. However, over the last decades, most (if not all) of the geopolitical conflicts and war were still triggered by Men in a position of power, always performing the noble role of protecting their families, society, values and religion. | From Genghis Khan to the great Inca warriors, from the Scandinavian vikings to the roman emperors.
