Marcus Brigstocke: Vitruvian Mango

About Marcus Brigstocke: Vitruvian Mango
What are men for? Most heavy things can be lifted by machines, and most problems can be solved by computers and most puddles can be crossed without us gallantly draping our capes over them – so are we fellas of any use at all?
Award-winning MAN Marcus Brigstocke thinks we might still serve some useful function. But what is it? This new tour show will resolve the entire issue once and for all (in a non-patriarchal, open-minded, progressive sort of way).
DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man is the image of the ideal male form. Marcus’ Vitruvian Mango is the same, but sweeter, softer, seasonally available, and, when ripe, delicately perfumed.
