Youth
Winner of Reumert Award 2015 in the category: Special prize of the year.
In a camp by a forest lake the audience settle into individual tents with a young person. The story that unfolds here is about the most terrible and most mazing phase of life. A period that is all about love, uncertainty, ambitions, anxiety, social relationships and life choices.
The auditorium of Republique Theater is rebuilt into a campsite with sand and a forest lake, and each one of the audience members is invited to accommodate a tent with a young person. Together they experience a “theatrical day”, where everything can happen, and the phenomenon of youth is explored into details. Join 30 young people age 15-20.
Youth was performed 21 February – 13 March 2015 at Teater Republique in Copenhagen.
★★★★★
“The illusion, the sensory impressions and the encounter with the young people contribute to a courageous confrontation with one’s self and one’s own feelings.”
