In the production In Search of Volume, teens will conduct a sincere dialogue with viewers about the feelings and experiences that worry them today.
The reading will explore self-expression and identity, which the teens researched as part of this series of meetings.
Series participants are aged 13 to 17 and came to Garage with various experiences: working in contemporary theater and public performances, creating literary texts, and seeking a community in which to develop experience and contacts in the cultural sphere. They are united by an interest in contemporary culture, a search for their place in the world and for co-thinkers, and a desire to consider what is going on.
During eight sessions, the teens explored how the various spaces at Garage sound and thought about their own volume, seeking means of expressing themselves today and working out where a person can be loud and where it is necessary to whisper, including how existing rules influence such decisions. They thought about how silence is formed and what, on the contrary, gives rise to a wave of noise.
Participants fixed their observations as textual reflections, which formed the basis of the reading. Through the prism of the diary entries that will be performed at Garage, the teens will seek their personal voices and means of being heard in a new way on the subject of what is going around them.
After the event there will be a discussion with the teens in which they will share their discoveries and impressions after taking part in the series of meetings and answer viewers’ questions.
