Made You Look

Wednesday 21st October – Thursday 22nd October 2026

Made You Look comes to Birmingham Rep for a powerful and immersive performance, offering a bold exploration of identity, masculinity and the lived experience of being an immigrant in modern Britain.

 

Performed by Ty’rone Haughton, this visceral one-man show blends spoken word, physical theatre, visual art and sound to create a deeply personal and emotionally charged experience. The production sits at the intersection of poetry and performance, using movement and language to tell a story that is both intimate and confronting.

Set within The Door, Birmingham Rep’s most intimate performance space, the show places the audience close to the action, heightening its immediacy and impact. Through a series of powerful reflections, the performance explores themes of belonging, perception and self-expression, inviting audiences to engage with complex and often challenging questions.

The piece moves between vulnerability and intensity, offering moments of reflection alongside raw emotional energy. Its fusion of artistic forms pushes beyond traditional storytelling, creating an experience that is both thought-provoking and visually striking.

As part of Birmingham Rep’s commitment to showcasing new writing and diverse voices, Made You Look reflects the complexity and richness of contemporary Britain, giving space to stories that are often underrepresented on stage.

With its bold creative approach and powerful subject matter, Made You Look offers a compelling and unforgettable theatre experience, combining artistry, storytelling and social insight in equal measure.
