The Philosophy behind Men’s Tears
Men’s Tears is a musico-narrative work that explores the human confrontation with vulnerability, loss, and enduring suffering. The piece creates a space where narration and solo Iranian microtonal piano converge, evoking the inner landscapes of grief and resilience.
Rather than approaching pain as a transient emotion, the work reflects on it as a formative force—one that shapes identity, tests endurance, and reveals the depth of human courage. Within this framework, sound and voice unfold as complementary agents of meaning.
Through this interplay, Men’s Tears gives voice to the hidden, often unspoken dimensions of emotional truth: a quiet philosophy of what it means to endure, to witness, and to cry.
