BELGIAN PREMIERE

Directed by Eoin McKenzie and co-created in collaboration with Robbie Synge and young performer Alfie, The show for young men is a funny and tender dance performance that poetically considers the complexities of modern-day masculinity as it affects both boys and men.

With humor, risky physical duets and heartfelt choreography, The show for young men depicts the friendship between a boy and a man as they dance and play together. As their bond deepens, and shared conflicts arise, they both learn that there are many ways to be a man.

**** “It’s a big one nil against toxic masculinity in this absolute gem of a show!” - Fest
