Reut Shemesh, together with 5 performers focus on the self-discovery process and identity development of young people. What do the uniforms and clothing of young people and children say? How conscious are they of an overarching ideology and beliefs in their representation? The piece explores the nuanced relationship between uniforms, symbols, behaviors and rituals as well as social class. It shows how young people deal with the delicate balance between conformity and individuality. During the research phase, Reut Shemesh already involved the target group of the project and worked with them in Dresden, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne and Potsdam.
