Aggression at school and the idols of today’s generation. The problems that define the everyday lives of adolescents growing up with parents who are absorbed in themselves and uninterested in their children’s concerns. Parents needlessly sacrificing their own happiness in life. Loneliness, indifference toward others. Families as disintegrating cells. People’s inability to communicate with one another.

All of this explodes the senses today and makes people wonder what, in fact, is happening to today’s generation?!

And perhaps the answer comes when red turns unexpectedly and painfully tragic...

“This text by Elise Wilk also addresses the spaces inhabited by young people, the collision of different visions of the world, clashes between behavioral models, generational divides, and the denial of reality in favor of what is desired. The director’s choice to structure the performance into named scenes, like the songs on a music album, gives the stage room for live musical accompaniment, combined with great dynamism and flair, creating a sense of explosion.”
