Teentalitarianism

Teentalitarianism is a social-specific performance that invites an adult audience to enter a very different world, a world where the tables are turned, and the teens are in charge. We work with a group of local teenagers to create a series of performances, events and interventions that will take over a local festival, creating a teen-infused environment where the youth rule the roost.

Nothing seems impossible. I did so many things I thought I would never do. It was so real, we were on stage and just talked about ourselves.

If you want to describe it, you can’t, you can’t find the right words, it doesn’t matter how many dictionaries you have, you can’t find words for it.
