Introduction
Sophia Vgenopoulou, the director and artistic director of the Grasshopper theater company, enlisted the talents of Yannis Tsiros to write a new play for teenagers.
"Right of Passage" employs an ever-popular form, the psychological/political thriller, to study the phenomenon of youth activism, focusing on the purity of its motivations and the unpredictability of its consequences. Three students in their final year of secondary education are determined to fight for their ideals. Spurred into action by their ecological objections to the way in which water—our planet’s ‘blue gold’—is owned and managed, they play an active role in a kidnapping. What responsibilities will they come up against? What lines should not be crossed? And who is the real enemy? This testing of limits through extreme behavior is a rite of passage: it is the only way an adolescent can achieve true adulthood.
