What happens when the person we are expected to become is not the person we actually are?

In the second part of Who We Were Told to Be, Via Berlin explores another set of expectations, pressures and contradictions that shape human lives.

Through spoken word, familiar phrases and deeply personal experiences, Human 2 reveals how gender norms influence not only how others see us, but also how we learn to see ourselves.

Together, the two performances invite us to look beyond the categories that divide us and recognise the humanity we share.
