In Boomer Galore, Boomers and Millennials fight for equality, language, and space. With sharp humor, painful recognition, and a hefty dose of office absurdity, the performance dissects our attempt to collaborate and why it so often fails.
Bilas, burnouts and business gatherings
Het Zuidelijk Toneel & Silke van Kamp
In Boomer Galore two generations are at each other's throats: Meet Big Boss and Boomer Ruurd and HR manager and Millennial Agnes. She is leaving and he doesn't understand why. She wants to go to Bali, away from Technic Solutions to a future in regression and reincarnation therapy. He is left behind, with colleagues, work and karaoke. Which of the two can win your heart and survive this battle of the generations?
Director & writer
Silke van Kamp is a theater and film director. She created the production F*CK LOLITA at Het Zuidelijk Toneel in collaboration with writer Annet Bremen. This not only blew the audience away but also impressed the press.
Silke conveys current themes and taboos directly to her audience. In her work, she investigates how the individual relates to the mass. She critiques social constructs and exposes societal dynamics. With her actors, she creates recognizable characters of flesh and blood. Her performances and text directions are raw and intimate, yet layered and laced with humor. Musical, physical, edgy, honest.
