This Is What’s Up

By collecting of authentic materials, we seek the answer to the question – where do our fixed ideas about something, we have no relevant information about, come from? Is it society, the school syllabus from our childhood years or perhaps art that creates them?

The main target group of the production is young audiences, for whom a visit to the National Theatre can be a completely different type of theatre experience, as their own generation will be speaking to them from the stage. A worldwide trend in professional theatre production for teenagers is the involvement of young creators themselves in the process of creating a production, which can take many different forms. 

The project involving a professional creative team is included in the NT’s current repertoire, which is a step further for NT Young.

Teenagers from foster institutions also participated in the creation of the production. Its main theme is the public’s perceptions of contemporary orphanages and similar institutions and the people who live there.
