[Image description: Hand-drawn poster image with photos of youth collaged in. Overall image of a landfill with two mountainous piles on the left and right. At the center is a river of glowing blues and purples, Three youth sit and play. A tall hand drawn figure stands in the center facing away, they are taller than the pile of garbage. They look out at a hazy green coloured horizon. Falling from the top of the image is a grocery cart and person, they appear to be coming from a break in the clouds with beams of light breaking through. ]

 
 

STUFF

A 100 Watt Production

Featuring The Youth Ensemble

Directed by Kristina Watt Villegas

Show art by Sophie Dean

STUFF is about…our stuff. It’s about our attachment to material possessions, consumption, and confusing need with greed. Meanwhile, this living thing called planet Earth pays the price: landfills burst, a climate crisis rages everywhere, and yet the checkouts still have line-ups? 

But you know all this. So. Imagine a time in the future (a future that could be now) in which teens all over the world (TTF’s, Teenage Task Forces) unite with one goal: to eliminate stuff. 

And maybe that’s all we’ll say for now. Wait. One more thing: STUFF is about being human: the “I am because I have”, power imbalances, and the challenge of letting go.
