Quindell Orton, «Making of a Man» (Germany)

One dancer, a projection screen, a live camera, a set of silicone abs, and a question: How does a body 'do' masculinity?

'Making of a Man' starts out like a TED talk, navigating through pop culture, politics, and personal interviews, before becoming a more slippery exploration of the leaky containers we build for masculine identity. Who gets to 'do' masculinity and how, and what potential lies in the unsettling of masculinity's rigidly chiseled codes?
