Theater Oostpool
Come and see how a perfect, sweet and fun family sees its life destroyed by the INTERNET.
A new black comedy from Hulst & Tarenskeen, 'purveyors of witty theater satires' (De Volkskrant) and known for the theater hits Showmeister and Millennial I VREDE.
Brick wall, a racing bike on the wall and a large plant in the corner. The Smit family is doing well. Two people in their forties with a nice job, a nice relationship and a 15-year-old daughter who they are raising according to the left-wing progressive handbook. Consent, transparency, open conversations at the kitchen table. Everything is negotiable. They have nothing to hide.
But it would be a boring play if we didn't put this family through hell. A website will appear. With a timer. 24 hours. When the clock resets, everyone can see each other's entire browser history. Every search. Any DM. Every porn night. Every question you ever asked Google or ChatGPT.
Total anarchy breaks out outside. People are burning laptops and data centers are being stormed. It becomes eerily quiet inside. The parents decide to tell each other everything as a preventative measure. Small confessions become bigger ones. Fantasies are expressed, supposedly without judgement. And while their marriage slowly crumbles, their teenage daughter has another problem.
At school she always acted as if she knew everything. All shocking videos that were talked about in a cool way. In reality, she was watching dance tutorials. Now she has 24 hours to redeem her innocence. Four screens at the same time. No break. 2 girls 1 cup.

Browser History Because do we really want to know everything about each other? Or is it the secrets that keep us together? After the critically acclaimed VREDE, this is the second part of the Millennial series by Hulst & Tarenskeen - about the generation that saw the internet emerge, normalized it and is now being overtaken by it.
