Requiem for Men

A young man steps up to the lectern on the altar. He has been asked to speak about his late father. “Nothing much, just a few nice words.” But the piece of paper his speech should be on, is blank. He has nothing to say.

His boyfriend helps him fill in the blanks, but every attempt is met with contempt. By the week’s end, there will be another man laid to rest.

What will be said at the young man’s funeral when his time comes? Requiem for Men follows a young man’s attempts to ensure his peaceful repose at his life’s end, but in doing so, may have left little reason for anyone to say anything at all.

A show by Adriano Del Re.
