Aggression at school and the idols of today’s generation.

The problems that characterize the daily 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. The inability of people to communicate with one another.

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

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

“And this text by Elize Vilk addresses the theme of the spaces inhabited by young people, of the clash of different views of the world, of duels among behavioral patterns, of generational mismatches and the denial of reality in favor of the desired. The directorial 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 bravura, which create the feeling of an explosion.”
