(EN) Youth performance Teenage Riot asked the question whether it’s still possible to revolt, through eight teenagers who shut themselves away from the outside world in a shed on stage, communicating with the audience mainly through a camera.
The performance explored the right to riot without providing solutions or a reasonable cause and reflected the chaos inside a teenager’s mind. It was intended both for adults who forgot what it means to rebel and those who still feel the teenager inside them.

(NL) Jongerenvoorstelling Teenage Riot vraagt zich af of het nog mogelijk is om te rebelleren. Acht jongeren sluiten zich af van de buitenwereld in een 'kot' op scène. Ze communiceren met het publiek via een camera en projecties op het kot.
De voorstelling onderzoekt het recht om zich te verzetten zonder oplossingen aan te reiken of zelfs zonder aanvaardbare reden. Ze weerspiegelt de chaos in een tienergeest. Ze richten zich tot volwassenen die vergeten zijn wat rebelleren betekent en zij die nog steeds de tiener in zich voelen schoppen. |
A liberal mockery of the woefully screwed-up world that they will soon inherit from us anxious adults.
It is mocking us.
Look at it one way and you have a crass, confused, aggressive
and illogical piece of fierce teenage rhetoric and anti-adult agitprop.
Look at it another and you have a poignant expression of the failure and impossibility
entailed by the teenage existence and experience.
The first sees a tantrum thrown; the second sees a tantrum shown.
A much grimmer, even more mature portrait than its predecessor.
Ontroerend Goed, however, delivers a clever performance.
It raises the only genuinely dangerous question: not where, but who your teenager is.
