A teenager weaponizes scripture in a pop-art infused musical drama about religious fundamentalism.
Marius von Mayenburg's razor-sharp play examines the dangerous friction between teenage zealotry and modern secular society, staging the battle of ideas through a provocative collision of ideologies. Director Agnius Jankevičius frames the material as a high-energy carnival of rock music and pop art, capturing the chaotic metamorphosis of coming of age.
Anchored by a live student chorus performing 1990s rock and punk classics like Green Day and The Smashing Pumpkins, the production blends blistering social critique with striking theatricality. It offers a compelling look at institutional confusion when faced with uncompromising dogmas, driven by intense performances from a talented ensemble.
