Real men wear sparkles (and pink)

Acrobatic jumps, casual light up suits, and dancing in inches of water in the middle of the stage may seem like a scene out of a movie or a very vivid dream, but these indeed were all characteristics of the theater performance "Show Me," which we saw yesterday at the Friedrichstadt-Palast.

Most of the guys out there who think they are strong and tough, think this way because of the clothes they wear or how many times a day they go to the gym. They call themselves "real men." I, however, after seeing this performance have a new definition of "real men."

One scene in the performance was a group of men, wearing bright pink jumpsuits with sparkles on them, dancing, lifting each other up, and doing feats of incredible strengths, feats that no ordinary man without significant training could do. Whoever said real men wear pink wasn't joking.

Other male performers also had on sparkling outfits, but those rhinestones need not undermine their masculinity. They as well performed acts of intense strength throughout the show that could make even wrestlers seem weak.

 I really enjoyed the performance. Any day that we can dress up to go see an absolutely amazing play and watch insane acts of human ability, you can count me in.
