KID. 8+ & 18+

KID. is two-in-one.
Two performances unfolding at the same time.
Two audiences, separated only by a wall.

On one side, adults are watching an 18+ performance about children. On the other side, children are watching an 8+ performance about adults. Neither side knows what is happening on the other. You hear everything, but it’s not always what you think. And what you see doesn’t always match what you hear.

In KID., children are treated to a high-quality, philosophical slapstick performance about what an adult actually is. On the other side of the wall lies the backstage area. There, the adults must do everything in their power to keep the children’s performance running smoothly—while enjoying some adult-appropriate entertainment, such as a glass of red wine and a hint of functional nudity.

KID. is a production by hetpaleis and BOG., exploring the question of what it really means to be an adult. When you grow up, does that make you an adult? When you can pay for a house? When you are sad more often than happy?

It is confronting and disarmingly honest for adults, intimate and juicy for children, and hilarious for all ages. After the show, the intergenerational conversation continues in the foyer—because your child saw the same performance as you… or did they?
