About the show
Writer and performer Ty’rone Haughton delivers a fiercely honest and lyrically rich piece that dives deep into masculinity, identity, vulnerability, and survival. The show fuses poetry, physical theatre, visual art, and sound to create a deeply emotional, at times unbearable, but profoundly necessary experience.
Made You Look is a visceral and explosive one-man poetry show interrogating masculinity and what it means to be an immigrant in a Britain growing increasingly hostile towards minorities and women.
This is more than just words on a stage, it’s performance poetry at its most potent and vital.
