No Men Beyond This Point

More info & tickets

A utopian proposal for the future with a dark undertone, filled with the characteristic humor and exuberant theatricality of the young theater collective Blond & Cynisch.

The Story

It is the year 195 A.M. (After Men). Nearly two hundred years after society on Earth drastically changed. Since the year 2027 (old calendar), 'fatherless children' were suddenly born. The cause: a random genetic mutation. Two egg cells fertilized each other, resulting in the birth of a girl. This mutation occurs more and more frequently, and within a span of three generations, only women are born. The last man dies in 2175, the new year 0. The gender-specific term 'woman' is dropped and is now synonymous with 'human'.

Planet Earth is doing well. Humanity sees the extinction of men as an intervention of evolution. The climate crisis has been solved, peace has reigned for centuries, there is no poverty, and no inequality. The world is healthy, and people live together with pleasure and in harmony.

Until, after nearly 200 years of female utopia, a man is spotted on the continent of Euro Alta. In the following weeks, he is seen multiple times. Experts have no doubt: a wild man is roaming the Earth. While The Matroon declares a crisis, the area where the man was spotted is cordoned off, and the media tries to cover up the incident, the young history student Solan goes in search of The Man. Where does he come from? Are there more where he came from? And most importantly: what does he want? Her quest brings the dark sides of this utopia to light, with gigantic consequences.

About the Play
