~~~~~~~~

Did you know that humans may have evolved emotional tears, the sad-crying-face tears from heartbreak and solitude, as a means of survival? It was first believed that as animals we used tears as a way to protect us from our predators since it made it harder for them to tell where we were looking, where we would run off to next. Oren Hasson, an evolutionary biologist, then suggested that we could have developed our emotional tears to show others that we were vulnerable, and as a signal that we wanted to make peace.

Hasson says “When most people see a crying face, they feel an urge to ask what is wrong, to offer help or empathy. It could be that emotional tears signaled our willingness to trust and become bonded into supportive, protective communities. And crying when we felt fearful or vulnerable or when we felt a sense of unity could then have developed into the kind of emotional crying we all do now and then.”

Join us at the Factory on St. Valentine’s Eve for a night of emotional release. How old were you when you first felt loneliness? How long does it take to get over a broken heart? Do you ever really truly know another person? Explore these questions and more with visual artworks, videos, and live performances. Featuring a Cry Corner and free tissues. Come for the heartbreak, stay for the break throughs.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
