What is a man of the 21^st century? What are the male desires, ambitions and potentials in today’s world? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the modern men?  What is a male identity at the beginning of this century?

During the last 60 years, the feminist movement has fought for a better understanding of women and their role in the society in the full capacity. In the shadow of this just struggle, an evolution of men has happened unnoticed. Today’s man is completely different than any of his predecessors in history. A new concept of manhood emerges.

Haris Pašović, a director and Edward Clug, a choreographer together with Philip Tan, a composer, conceive this spectacular production in the heart of “macho-land”, in the Balkans. Unexpectedly, we witness a thoughtful manhood, instead of the alpha-male bully power. No trace here of the stereotypical expectations of the Balkan exoticism. The Balkan popular tunes in “Rosas for Anne Teresa – Football Stories” create  a sometimes passionate and erotic atmosphere, and at times express a poignant drama of human relations. As the action progresses, we discover that the Balkan speaks for male sub-consciousness in the universal language applicable to any man, regardless of his race, ethnicity, sexuality, education or social class.

A unique dance style and fierce physicality of the dancers, together with an exciting visual beauty, superb singing and live music make “Rosas for Anne Teresa – Football Stories” an urgent artistic experience.
