Theater Utrecht | DOX | Casper Vandeputte

The musical, energetic, heart-pounding theater version of the award-winning book of the same name Confrontations by Simone Atangana Bekono (Best Book for Young People 2021).

Sixteen-year-old Salomé is in a juvenile detention center because she abused two classmates. Furious, she is - and de war. Between her fellow inmates and an irritating psychologist, she tries to keep her cool. But thoughts of her parents and sister and all the things they went through together race through her head. Chaos in her head, because of her experiences in prison, what happened before and where she will soon return to. How does it feel to really belong or to be different?

A flaming theater piece in which Salomé, played by Sharlee Daantje (Theo d'or 2024), reenacts her life with her four fellow inmates. A physical performance with fiery words. A story about conquering a place in the world when everything seems to be against you, told by a protagonist where can only love.
