Theatre making the invisible, visible

Tricky Hat Productions is a Glasgow‑based, multi‑arts performance company working across Scotland to make bold, collaborative theatre with and about people living on the margins of society.
Through a deeply participatory, devised approach, our artists work alongside participants to uncover a creative voice that is both credible and imaginative. We use performance, film, music and movement to explore real stories, hopes and dreams. Our work spans live performance, sound installations and film, created in collaboration with organisations, artists and communities across Scotland and internationally.
