The Show For Young Men

A man and a boy meet on a stage that’s somewhere between a building site, a junkyard, and a hillside at dawn. Together they dance, play, wrestle, and sing trying to make sense of what it means to be a man.

The Show For Young Men is a tender and moving new contemporary dance piece made for audiences aged 8+, co-created and performed by Alfie, a 10-year-old boy, and Robbie Synge, a 40-something-year-old male dancer. Set against a backdrop of a fictional radio station, the work sees risk-taking dance and joyful play reveal Robbie and Alfie’s burgeoning friendship, posing larger questions around male bonding and intimacy. The work seeks to forge a space where a more compassionate and caring mode of masculinity can exist.

Age recommendation: 8yrs+
