“You cherish us when we are little. You want us to be happy.

And then we'll do something that doesn't make you cheer.

Something that doesn't fit the bill."

PIECE  is a bittersweet location performance about the search for identity. Youth is vulnerable, no matter how well we guard its borders. And when we are finally ready to take the step into adulthood, youth vanishes as quickly as time.  

Directed by Jori Hermsen,  PIECE  a musical, feverish dream that gets under your skin and won't let go. With a cast of eleven young people and an artistic team of professionals, JHPjong creates a raw and gripping performance about the struggles of youth on the way to adulthood.
