Wee Man is a highly physical and dynamic dance-theatre performance work by award-winning choreographer, Natasha Gilmore.

It celebrates and questions the shifting, and unshifting, rules of masculinity across the different generations. With candid humour, it examines the tension that exists within the toxic rulebook of accepted male behaviour, from the seemingly benign to the dangerous. Performed by a cast of men and male teenagers.

The troop holds
Cradles brotherhood
In calloused hands
Absorbs transgression
Forgives everything but individuality
Dismisses the traumatic
With a pat on the back

With an evocative sound score by Luke Sutherland and text created with Kevin P. Gilday.

The premiere of Wee Man marks the start of an important new relationship as Barrowland Ballet becomes Capital Theatres’ first associate company. This mutually beneficial relationship, building on the success of 2022’s award-winning co-production The Gift, recognises a shared ambition to extend access to dance for more people. Capital Theatres will provide an Edinburgh home for Barrowland Ballet and help the company as it explores new artistic approaches. In turn, Barrowland Ballet will support Capital Theatres’ aim to present inclusive dance work for more audiences, including relaxed performances and productions tailored for young people with complex needs.
