Devised using Ned Glasier, Emily Lim and Company Three’s blueprint entitled Brainstorm, this multimedia production brings together Deaf Youth Theatre and Youth Theatre Kenya to explore life as a teenager in 2026. Blending live performance with video, the ensemble shares stories shaped by workshops and conversation. From identity to family to messy bedrooms to boring school and the meaning of life, the piece captures the contradictions of growing up in today’s world, in very different, yet similar surroundings. Raw, funny and fearless, this bilingual performance places young experiences centre stage, asking what it means to be seen, understood, and human in 2026.
