Gendermonologen

Being yourself is easy, it's other people who make it difficult.

"It is scientifically proven that you can make an intuitively good judgement about someone in two seconds. So if you look at me now, what do you see? What did you think? Which category do you put me in: boy, girl, non-binary? What actually is that? What does that look like?"

Gendermonologen centres on the personal stories of five young people. Stories about what it means not to fall into the binary gender picture. In song, dance and text, they talk about finding your place in our society and everything that comes with it: labels and expectations, public toilets, and the very first love as your 'new' self.

Five different people who have one thing in common: they challenge themselves and our society. They are constantly the subject of discussion as they choose to be themselves and claim their own happiness.
