“The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise”, Socrates has said in the 4th Century BC. The statements of different times consider the youth as incomprehensible and graceless.
Young people have been addressed as the golden generation, the hippies generation, or, for instance, the generation of awakening. Nowadays teenagers are called the Me Me Me Generation. This performance is a conversation with five real school children who belong to it.
The work is commissioned by the festival as a part of the festival’s 20th anniversary programme, Twenty.
