Blue Hours

The 14-year-old Philip is new in town and at school. During his studies, he gets closer to his classmate Juli who is also 14, and they both start to experience new feelings. However, the pervasive feeling of FIRST LOVE that blossoms between them is slowly being overwhelmed by the outside world. Philip is forced to live up to his friends’ expectations. Because… others have already done”that”! Yes, exactly “that”!

SEX is a constant topic of conversation between the boys in the locker room. And Philip’s father keeps asking questions. Our heroes are in a whirlwind of emotions. They are searching for themselves, for the right moment when the sky is bluer than usual.

How can we communicate about our feelings, desires, love and sex without fear and without the pressure to conform, and how can we talk to teenagers about the questions we are afraid to ask? The play is directed by Márton Kiss, director of several successful youth productions at our theatre – Csöngő, The Book of All Things, God of the Bees.
