Made You Look is a visceral and explosive one-man performance that blends spoken word, physical theatre, visual art and sound to create a deeply personal and emotionally charged experience.
Performed by Ty’rone Haughton, the show sits at the intersection of poetry and theatre, using movement and language to explore identity, masculinity and the lived experience of being an immigrant in modern Britain. Through a series of powerful and unflinching reflections, the performance invites audiences to confront difficult questions around belonging, perception and self-expression.
Fusing multiple art forms, Made You Look pushes beyond traditional storytelling, creating an immersive performance that is both intimate and confrontational. The piece moves between vulnerability and intensity, offering moments of reflection alongside raw emotional energy, making it a compelling exploration of contemporary identity.
Presented in The Door, Birmingham Rep’s most intimate performance space, the production places the audience close to the action, heightening the immediacy and impact of the work. Known for championing new writing and bold, innovative voices, Birmingham Rep continues its commitment to presenting work that reflects the diversity and complexity of modern Britain.
