Hi I'm Pablo. The Grownups is a performance piece I devised for the You Are Here festival in Canberra, Australia. It works like this...
If you'd like to know more about the man behind the plan, you can head over to my website (www.pablolatona.com), or just google "Pablo Latona" (or "Moroccan tree goats").
That's me in the photo above with my niece and nephew, the little people who inspired this idea.
- You help us gather a bunch of recordings and transcripts of young people having candid conversations with each other. Talking about whatever kids talk about (rockets, farts, moon-ponies, fart powered rockets, etc).
[Submissions close 17th March] - I select the best conversations and use them as scripts for adult actors, to be performed in a series of 5 minute plays. Each play is set in a different grown up location, with two actors playing serious adults, but speaking children's words.
(For example, two builders on a building site. Or office workers at a water cooler) - You come and watch and laugh.
Or if you're not in Canberra, you can watch the videos posted on this site after each performance.
