WE THINK IT'S TIME FOR SOMETHING SWEET (15+)

Everything of value is defenseless."(Lucebert

We live in the era of maximum freedom for the individual, simply because you are worth it. A time when we all work hard and our new moral is success. A time when we are more ‘woke ‘than before. A time when we want every day to be a happy one.

Because we live in a’nice country'. In which we "grandly" celebrate our own "I". But it is also a hard time in which we sometimes come up against each other and we have to fight. Where, in addition to that success, people also fall, doubt and are gloomy.  Are our shoulders strong enough to hold everyone?  And do we still want that? How kind are we to each other? And what is that: really being sweet?

In ' we think it's time for something sweet’, four young people try to rewrite the rules of their generation. In a physical, visual rollercoaster of thoughts and short acts to the beats of Woody Veneman, they try to bring a loving ode to themselves and the other.

'We think it's time for something sweet, is the third performance in the WIJ series that Lenneke Maas is developing at Wildpark with young people. Earlier she made ‘we are all fifteen and are very eager to turn sixteen’ and ‘we would like to say something about this’. We speak, reflect, and act from the perspective of young people and everything around them.

The show was developed from the hearts of four young people and performed by a professional cast.

Reviews

Nice and current frustration theater. Director Lenneke Maas turns it into a vibrating whole in a fierce explosion of current frustrations. Youth and the future: enough to make you angry. And what a beautiful place the theater is to give air to that. Quite a leak.

Dear adults,

We write this to you because we emphatically want to say that you have to come and listen to us en masse. It's about time, don't you think?

We're pretty much in shit. And by the way... we not only you too! Everyone, actually. But we still have to go a little further. Our life is just beginning. When we were not there, all adults made decisions that we are quite bothered by. About the environment and related matters. You know what we mean.

And now we wonder if our shoulders are strong enough to carry everything. So; a loving conversation seems appropriate to us. Or well, whether it will be sweet, we don't know yet.

Love,
