ENG:
'A Tooth For An Eye' deconstructs images of maleness, power and leadership.
Who are the people we trust as our leaders and why? What do we have to
learn from those we consider inferior? In a sport setting where one would
traditionally consider a group of men as powerful and in charge, an
unexpected leader emerges. A child enters and allows the men to let go of
their hierarchies, machismo and fear of intimacy, as they follow her into a
dance. Their lack of expertise and vulnerability shines through as they
perform the choreography. Amateurs and skilled dancers alike express joy
and a sense of freedom; There is no prestige in their performance. The child
is powerful, tough and sweet all at once, roaring "I'm telling you stories, trust me". There is no shame in her girliness, rather she possesses knowledge that the men lost a long time ago.
