*Sensible* is a plunge into the murky yet crystal-clear waters of what shapes our images of man. Through this popular show, we invite the audience to confront their own sensibilities and question their notions of masculinity. The question is not what a man is, but rather what we want him to be. Thus, we propose an exploration of “man” with a lowercase “m,” of the masculine absurdity of our time, and of our own constructs. With self-deprecating humor, Sensible makes room for reflection, tenderness, and self-acceptance. It aims to be the gentle key to opening a dialogue around this theme, which seems to us to have long been hidden behind a closed door. Sensible is an immersion in the exploration of the masculinities around which we have built ourselves, in what is most terrible and most beautiful about us.
