Overview

The leaders of tomorrow have run out of patience and are running the employee evaluation of a lifetime: How well do you think you’re adulting? Who put you in charge? What makes you so sure you’re even cut out for the job?

Commandeering a real office space in Canberra, this site-specific interactive performance reverses the power dynamic between adult and child, taking audiences into the belly of a new public service run entirely by children.

The Department of Responsible Adulting is an inventive, anarchic, immersive new work created by Canberra Youth Theatre that will promote intergenerational conversations and empower young people. Literally. They have lanyards.
