Brothers to Sisters (2018)
Brothers to Sisters: Välimiehet performing “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” (3 min).
A film installation/short film by Nils Agdler & Timo Menke.
Brothers to Sisters is an ongoing series of choir works, initially produced in collaboration with the Porin Mies-Laulu male choirs in Pori, Finland. A male choir version of Annie Lennox’s and D. A. Stewart’s Sisters Are Doin’ it for Themselves (1985) is performed by the Välimiehet choir: the younger male generation reflects changes in gender roles and masculinity, insofar as the paragon of masculinity has been the role of the man as the family’s breadwinner.
Song performed by the Välimiehet choir.
