ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE
AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPOTLIGHTS
THE YOUNG GIRL WAS BORN
HER ASS A GLOBAL VILLAGE
HER CHEEKS RED LIKE CHERRIES IN THE SPRING

SHE WANTS TO BE THE ONE
WHO WALKS IN THE SUN
OH, SHE WANTS TO FEEL IT ALL
BUT SHE’S NOT THE FORTUNATE ONE 

WHATEVER,
IF NOT HER, THEN SOMEBODY ELSE
TAKE A RISK, GIRL
(I know you’re a vir­gin and only 19 but)
WHO HASN’T ASKED HERSELF AT SOME TIME OR OTHER: AM I A MONSTER?

More than ever, the young girl vio­lent­ly sha­kes us with desi­re, in a world whe­re our desi­re is insa­ti­a­ble. She’s a capi­ta­list wet dream. She’s sedu­ced and desi­red. But what fan­ta­sies do keep her awa­ke at night? 

young girls is a play in which four per­for­mers reen­act the HBO show Girls by Lena Dunham (2012 — 2017). Or, they try. The show depicts the lives of four twen­ty-some­thing girls in New York City. So tri­vi­al! How hard can that be? 

Reenacting the show, a tur­bu­lent port­rait of the time just befo­re #MeToo, rai­ses ques­ti­ons. What does it mean to be a girl ten years later? How much lon­ger will her suc­cess uphold her? Is her sto­ry worth tel­ling, or would it be bet­ter left as an entry in her diary? 

By reen­ac­ting out of love and cathar­sis, the per­for­man­ce see­ks to break free from the cli­ché, limi­ting scripts impo­sed on the young girl. Good luck girls!
