Theatre company Growing up in Public has been creating and producing modern repertoire since 1989. Their plays are inspired by current developments in politics, religion, gender relations and society. They search for theatrical forms to comment directly on everyday life, by writing new theatre texts, making performances, organising festivals and debates and publishing books. They focus on the collective symbols of modern culture, its shared icons and mythical subjects and its uncritically accepted religious and political opinions. Their plays and performances are full of black humour, fantasy and live music. The group performs in small and medium-sized theatres, at summer festivals, on locations, at theatre schools and in their own theatre at the Blauwkapel Fortress (Blue Chapel Fortress) in Utrecht.
