About Barrowland Ballet
Wee Man is a powerful and highly physical dance-theatre performance by Barrowland Ballet, performed at DB 1. Choreographed by Natasha Gilmore and performed by an all-male cast of both men and teenagers, the work explores the shifting — and stubbornly static — rules of masculinity across generations. With evocative sound by Luke Sutherland and text created with Kevin P Gilday, Wee Man blends raw movement, humour and honest storytelling to unpack the rulebook of male behaviour, from everyday pressures to darker, inherited ideals. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 8 and over.
Why see this show?
Raw physical theatre that tackles masculinity across generations with both humour and rigour. A 60-minute show from an established Scottish dance company — suitable for audiences aged 8 and over at £15.
