THE rise of “toxic” hyper-macho influencers like Andrew Tate has “compelled” the director of a new Fringe show to challenge ideas of what men should be.
He said: “Full of humour, risky physical duets, and heartfelt choreography, The Show For Young Men sees a 44-year-old man and a 10-year-old boy dance and play together as they navigate their own physical and emotional differences. Tate is also facing an extradition request to bring him home to face similar charges. He maintains his innocence.
“It feels to me that one of the only ways to meaningfully progress the idea of contemporary masculinity is to normalise our capacities for love and compassion within men’s identities and place in the world.”And he said that portraying the friendship between Robbie and Alfie through dance gave him the “outdated idea” that dancing is “not for boys”.
Asked about how he felt about concepts like “toxic masculinity”, McKenzie said: “I think it's easy to disregard the need for boys and men to reflect on their own identities and place in the world. “If we're genuinely interested in tackling male violence and mental health, then we must find ways for boys and men to embrace their emotions and vulnerabilities without that negating what it means to be a man.”Robbie, based in Nethy Bridge in the Highlands, has made his own experimental dance works in the past and toured extensively as part of the Aerowaves network.It will run from the beginning of August in Assembly @ Dance Base in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh.
