Overview
The Hombres
BY TONY MENESES
DIRECTED BY REENA DUTT
Set in New Jersey, The Hombres offers a delicate, funny exploration of masculinity and intimacy of male friendships. Three Latino construction workers are drawn to the yoga studio, initially by voyeuristically watching women in classes from their job site next door. Gradually, their curiosity draws them in, one by one, to private, after-hours classes with the gay instructor whose sexual orientation challenges their machismo and sense of self. A laugh out loud, fresh, nuanced look at the complexity of male friendships through the lens of the machismo culture.
“a tale exploring the meaning of what it is to be a man. It is a play that must be seen, that deserves to be seen, that is a privilege to see.” – Out In Jersey Review
