TO BE ME/N
21 August 10.30am Tramway, Glasgow
A powerful new theatrical work-in-progress that delves into the complexities of modern masculinity. Follow the journey of a group of 7 as they confront their personal battles with mental health, challenging the roles society has imposed upon them. Through raw, funny and honest performances, they reveal their struggles to break free from damaging labels and redefine what it means to be a man today from their lived experience. This work in progress sparks important conversations and provides a poignant exploration of identity, mental health strength, and vulnerability. Join us for a sharing of introspection and exploration. Followed by a Q & A that explores the role of theatre to support and promotes mental well-being.
A work in progress by Collision Theatre supported by Edinburgh College.

Premiering at the inaugural Healing Arts Week part of The Edinburgh International Festival.
