A Theatrical Production
WE ARE HERE was originally written as a one-man play by Antonio David Lyons. The script consists of sixteen sketches that express the diversity of male voices specifically in the context of gender engagement and within the issue of woman and child abuse. The scenes explore a variety of issues and themes from a distinctly male perspective: the politics of dating in feminist/post-feminist South Africa; concern for a female friend in an abusive situation; a father’s distress and anger over the rape of his daughter; a young father’s words of guidance to his son; among others. Community Workshops
The workshops are directed at men and boys with the aim of facilitating interactive and congenial learning, healing and growth. We are currently conducting workshops in collaboration with TX Theatre Productions in Tembisa, a township of Johannesburg, South Africa. WAH Community Ambassadors
Leaders and role models within communities who embody the WAH philosophy and share our message with their respective constituencies and areas of influence. GENERAL INFORMATION
