About Granny Without Granny
About Granny Without Granny deals with consent, intimacy, and its violation. The performance moves through family stories and inherited memories, tracing the quiet ways we learn to show – or hide– what we feel. It lingers in the spaces between generations, where voices echo, shift, and are retold.
Inspired by the writings of bell hooks, the project gently reflects on how ideas of masculinity are shaped and carried, and how they touch the lives of those around them. Without blame, the work opens a space for reimagining: a space where tenderness, care, and emotional openness can emerge and be shared.
The project invites audiences into a soft and attentive atmosphere. Presented as a relaxed performance (inclusive for neurodivergent people and parents with children), it welcomes different ways of watching, listening, and being together.
