In Denmark's integration debate, men with minority backgrounds are often discussed but rarely heard from, and their own experiences as fathers seldom get space in public. FÆDRE & SØNNER puts those voices on stage. Seven men share, in their own words, what it means to be a minority-ethnic man, speaking about love, responsibility, grief, failure and pride, and about finding their place both at home and in society.
The performance is directed by Youssef Wayne Hvidtfeldt, with author and musician Shahin Aakjær and actor Runi Lewerissa helping to develop the stories. It is a collaboration between the documentary theatre C:NTACT, Baba – Fonden for Socialt Ansvar and NørreBrobyggerne, and is supported by Augustinus Fonden.
