Award winning fairy tale about love! Once upon a time in Renaissance Italy- Bianca- a young lady from a good family- is of marriage age. Her parents find her a fiance? to their liking: Giovanni- a rich merchant- young and pleasant. The wedding looks set to go smoothly even though Bianca can’t hide her disappointment at having to marry a man she knows nothing about. But before the marriage- she learns the secret held and bequeathed by the women of her family for generations: a ‘man’s skin’! By donning it- Bianca becomes ‘Lorenzo’ and enjoys all the attributes of a young man of stunning beauty. She can now visit the world of men incognito and get to know her fiance? in his natural environment. In her male skin- Bianca frees herself from the limits imposed on women. The morals of the Renaissance then act as a mirror to our present time and poses several questions: why should women be treated differently from men? Why should their freedom be the object of contempt and coercion? Tackling universal themes through a captivating and subtle fairy tale- Hubert and Zanzim brilliantly question our relationship to gender and sexuality…but not only that. By mixing morality and humor- A Man’s Skin invites us to the mad and noble quest for love.
