MAN is a raw and personal theatre concert by Glen Faria in which music and story come together. In his studio behind the piano, Glen tries to create, but he's interrupted by his inner voices: the artist, the partner, the father, the son. Roles that each demand something of him.
As he performs his new music live, he confronts who he is and who he thinks he's supposed to be. A personal, relatable show about expectations, identity, and the question: can you ever truly be yourself?

About Glen Faria
Glen Faria is a performer, songwriter and theatre maker. As a former member of the hip-hop group Flinke Namen, he has developed into a versatile artist at the intersection of music and theatre. Among other things, he wrote the hit ‘Duurt Te Lang’, made famous by Davina Michelle, and ‘Zij Weet Het’, which was released first by himself and later successfully by Tino Martin. He also gained national recognition through his appearance on Beste Zangers.
Faria has previously collaborated with various theatre companies and creators and has strong ties to both the music and theatre worlds. In his performances, he consciously seeks out the point where the two reinforce each other: honest, raw and intimate.
About Priscilla Vaudelle
Priscilla Vaudelle is a director, writer and storyteller. Drawing on her love of hip-hop, R&B and storytelling, she creates musical theatre centred on representation, encounter and connection. Her production Black Joy was selected for the Dutch Theatre Festival, where performer Samantha Cherish Wielkens received a nomination for the Louis d’Or.
With MAN, Vaudelle has teamed up with Glen Faria to create a personal theatre concert in which music and vulnerability come together in an honest conversation about what it means to be human.
