One of our country's most biting theatre companies takes a look at the living room and puts its collective finger on the sore spot by talking about how we bring up our children. What if, rather than kids, we are raising tyrants?
There can be little doubt that this new play by Joglars will lead many spectators to think of the children of their friends or neighbours… or, perhaps, their own offspring. Because, VIP is a comedy enacted on stage, many of the situations portrayed by the five actors – who create a total of thirty or more characters – are as real as life itself. It is true, children have become Very Important People in our society, and we want to give them the comfortable lives that we did not have. But perhaps we are turning them into impossible creatures who will inevitably become dictators. Sarcastic, acidic and ironic, VIP asks us whether our education system and our obsession with children’s rights is not leading parents and teachers to fall into a trap they made themselves. Audiences will be rocking in their seats as they see how adults take every chance to go wrong and create little monsters.
