From the Jury report:

"With this production, Glowacki immediately establishes himself as an innovative and promising voice in youth theatre. His original style attests to an exceptional craft and dedication, but equally impressive is the sensitivity with which he dares to venture into socially charged territory."

About embarrassing moments in the snack bar and mothers coming out of telephones. About small thoughts that become bigger and big feelings that become smaller. About hormones and a developing moustache, about wearing skirts and armpit hair. About girls and boys and pigeonholing. Or could we stop thinking in black-and-white terms?

In BONJOUR MADEMOISELLEKE, Lukas’ love of theatre and illustration come together. The performance is a living graphic novel that unfolds drawing by drawing. In this visual quest for gender identity, Lukas draws mainly on conversations, situations and feelings he has experienced himself.

Everything on stage is hand-drawn and crafted and is visibly manipulated by five performers. This stream of images, thoughts, words and feelings is accompanied live by a melodica, an accordion and an electronic organ.

BONJOUR MADEMOISELLEKE is a performance for young and old alike in which themes such as identity, gender, and the search for oneself are approached with a healthy dose of curiosity, care, and humor.
