Homosexual, transgender, and intergender people are still under pressure to justify why they are not \u201cthe same\u201d yet want to be recognised as equals. The onus is on them to defend their loves and desires \u2013 and not on those refusing to recognise them. However, tolerance always means to tolerate things you dislike. Implicitly, tolerance always means controlling one\u2019s discomfort.<\/p>\n
\u201cTolerant? We\u2019re Tolerant\u201d intends to subvert playfully the imbalance that is always part of the discourse about the equality of gays and lesbians. With three short video clips \u201cTolerant? We\u2019re Tolerant\u201d tackles the patterns of everyday intolerance, creating in the process a joyful irritation that will tickle the audience like a pebble caught in one\u2019s shoe.<\/p>\n
A project of author Dr. Carolin Emcke and director Angelina Maccarone, it presents an ironic take on social expectations and attributions. Who is tolerant? Who are \u201cwe\u201d, who \u201cthe others\u201d? How private or public may love become? The aim is not to lecture the audience but to make it realise certain aspects of its own behaviour \u2013 and laugh about it, laugh about its own prejudices.<\/p>\n<\/div>
