Legendary gender activist and performance artist Diane Torr teaches women in her interactive workshops to become the man of their choice. Join a 22 year old East German beauty queen; a political researcher from Munich; an Angolan single mother; and an Israeli lesbian living in Berlin when they become their male alter ego.
