Pres is a theatre piece about the pressure young people feel today, from social media, education, friendships, family, self-image and society's demands to perform. It is staged by Rødovre Kommune, which has worked with the venue before.
The production is built as a track of intense, self-contained theatre stories, each a brief moment where a great deal is at stake. The audience is taken through inner and outer dramas, touching on substance misuse, difficult relationships and performance anxiety in friendships, romance, with parents and with teachers. It moves between the highs and the steep drops of teenage life.
Pres is not a lecture. It is meant as a starting point for conversation about growing up today, for young people and the adults around them.
