'Confrontations' is a musical and energetic theatrical version of the award-winning book by Simone Atangana Bekono. A compelling story of identity, anger and survival in a world you don't understand.
Musical and energetic theatrical version of spectacular literary debut
With her debut novel Confrontations, Simone Atangana Bekono won award after award, including the Anton Wachter Prize and that of Best Book for Young People in 2021. Theater Utrecht and DOX now bring the book to the stage in a musical and energetic theater version.
Sixteen-year-old Salomé is in a juvenile detention center for mistreating two classmates. She is furious, confused and trying to keep her cool between fellow inmates and an irritating psychologist. But thoughts of her parents, her sister and all they have been through together race through her mind. How does it feel to really belong (n)somewhere or to be different?
Sharlee Daantje (Theo d'Or 2024) plays Salomé, surrounded by four fellow inmates, in a physical performance full of fiery words. A story about conquering a place in the world when everything seems to be against us. An emotional roller coaster full of rousing rhythms, dance and chilling acting.
