Blow Boys Blow

Dennis Deter

A job for men with beards! Hard men but with a soft center, of course. Dennis Deter and his seamen sing of home and far away, of danger and loneliness, of love and desire, of what it means to be a man… but those are yesterday’s songs. Because even in the theater the images of masculinity that were preserved for centuries in plays are becoming unstable. ‘Blow Boys Blow’ – seen here in a version specially adapted for the Impulse Theater Festival’s bar – consists of windswept fantasies with a hefty shot of nostalgia for wooden-decked ships that crossed unknown oceans and theater boards that once could mean the world.
