In times of crises and division, when opinions seem to overrule facts and elections are won by populism rather than content we want to explore questions of power, judgement and belonging.
Who is ‘we’? On what conditions can a bunch of people say ‘we’ and who does it include?
What do we really know and think about those we don’t include and therefore become ‘the others’? How do our choice for our peers and leaders distinguish us? How do we want to be judged and ruled? And how do we judge others?
12 Teenagers from the age 15 to 18 are willing to create scenes of unusual encounters between characters that are fundamentally different in one way or another.
The emerging play is going to be staged by the end of the schoolyear.
