What makes a man? How do we unlearn things passed down from generations? How do men learn from love?

A Corazon de Vaca Production, presented by Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company, IF I DROWN I CAN SWIM is based on the poetry of Maitland Schnaars, who talks with subtle whispers and brutal strength about identity, what it is to be a man and the meaning of heritage.

Mixing styles of writing is as much a part of Corazon de Vacas vision for a contemporary theatre as is mixing performance styles and performance media. IF I DROWN I CAN SWIM combines an already hybrid text with movement, digital visual media and live music.
