A theatre show for young people will take centre stage on May 9 in Brimbank exploring themes around sex, consent and relationships.
Part documentary, part confession, part open conversation, Yes Yes Yes is a show created specifically for young adults exploring the knotty and necessary topics of healthy relationships, desire and consent.
Featuring in-depth interviews with teenagers, the show is emphatic, empowering and engaging.
According to performer and co-creator of the show, Karin McCracken, while Yes, Yes, Yes deals with some heavy issues, it also has lighthearted moments.
“It was made with teenagers in mind, but really it’s for anyone,” she said.
“It’s a solo performance with a lot of laughs in it, despite some of the more delicate material around consent and bodily autonomy.”
Ms McCracken said that viewers will be able to take “lots of things” away after watching the show.
“At the very minimum, we want everyone to walk away feeling they saw a compelling piece of theatre,” she said.
“I think people have a sense that theatre for social good or education generally sucks, so we really tried to make something quality and not-condescending.
“In terms of consent, people will walk away with actual usable skills about talking to friends and family about consent, and what to do if someone discloses sexual violence to you.”
Yes, Yes, Yes will be playing at the Bowery Theatre from 6 to 7 pm.
