“One teenager can conceal another”, the comedic performance
“Marina lives independently. Well, nearly independently. She shares her space with Sandro, her sole child, who is now transitioning into adolescence. Accompanied indeed, as it’s a stretch to assert that these two exist together harmoniously as they navigate their own distinct realities. Marina finds it challenging to connect with this young man.
Everything he engages with, all he listens to, everything that captures his focus appears disordered and uninviting. Teenagers were not like this during her youth. In her view, they were considerably more rational and serious…
Until one day, Sandro is propelled through the looking glass. He discovers himself transported to the early 90s, alongside his mother… Who has reverted to her teenage self. And she was nowhere near as rational as she claims…”
This piece, “A teenager can conceal another,” will be showcased at the Rennes Comedy Saturday October 12 5pm to 6pm 15. This humorous performance is suitable for all ages. Reservations can be secured here.
