The production of The Simulator is based on the interviews of the director Tomsa Legierski and dramaturg Petra Kosová with grammar school students in Czech City of Pilsen and a town of Plasy. The students of the age of fourteen to sixteen talked about what they were experiencing, when they feel betrayed, what they perceive as wrong, what hurts them and what they perceive as obstacles in communication with adults. The creative team also talked to teachers, school psychologists and parents. And finally, together with the Polish actors, they revived their own memories and experience and they were looking for the ways to understand teenagers – Polish and Czech. Adolescence is a demanding process at the international level. For children and adults.
“The Simulator” is part of a Polish-Czech co-production “The Simulator. Snowball” within the European project ConnectUp.
