ESTHER (13+) | © TMBWhat happens to young people when they join a group? And how is the sense of community reflected in attitudes, dress codes and rituals? In ESTHER, her new production for young audiences, Reut Shemesh and five professional performers aged between 25 and 55, explore the self-discovery and identity development of young people. The need to belong and the dynamics of groups within a youth community represent two poles of this tense relationship. By exploring the nuanced relationship between uniforms, behaviours and rituals as well as social class, the play sheds light on how young people deal with the delicate balance between conformity and individuality. During the research phase, Reut Shemesh already involved the project's target group and worked with young people in Dresden, Munich, Hamburg and Potsdam.
