Harmony, trust and peace will not come from legislating the hearts and minds of the electorate. They will come as a result of a visceral awakening set ablaze through the collaborative mind and the pen of the artist.”

Traditionally, men have remained silent about issues pertaining to their health. Now, the silence is broken and conversations around men’s health can be heard. Men historically suppress their concerns about their own health and quietly suffer symptoms or ignore them. Cultural expectations lead many men to neglect themselves while taking care of everyone else in their circle.
Taboos around the anatomy of male health deter men from the examinations of their prostate and genitals that they need to detect ailments, including cancer. Even doctors can be squeamish about discussing some of the most intimate concerns a man has. A veil of shame and ignorance prevent many men from coming forward until their condition is too advanced for cure.
We are breaking the silence and pulling back the veil. We are creating venues that combine the art of theatre with the science of medicine to spread the word and dispel confusion, fear and even desperation. Raise your voice with us and help us Break the Silence.
