A show made by gamers, even for those who don’t understand anything about it.

For those who are not yet gaming, it is time to start. The world of the future is digital: a world that gamers are helping to shape. In Good Game (GG), they give their own insight into the added value and pitfalls of gaming. Hobbyists and professional esports players join forces to finally explain to all those worried adults what it’s like. With their input, professional playwrights give the audience a gaming experience in real life.

“People think I don’t have a life. Mate, I have a thousand!”

The game world is infinitely. If you start up a game, within seconds you are in another era, taking your first step on another planet or crawling into another skin. You are king of the hill or underdog, improve the high score of other players, unravel a mystery, build your dream house or conquer as a team. Whatever you are looking for, whatever you are missing: there is a game that gives it to you.

Get carried away by the experiences of a diverse group of young gamers. Professional music theater makers from Geluid Maastricht, Studio 52nd and Asko|Schönberg incorporated their texts and compositions into a physical and musical performance. An ode to the player and the game, a self-conscious reflection on how gaming affects your life, but above all: a much-needed break, AFK.

JONGE HARTEN VIEWING GUIDE

Jonge Harten offers a diverse program. But where do you start choosing? To clarify things somewhat, we have three main storylines that we are focusing on this year. You can see these lines throughout our program. So that you can easily choose which line suits you best and what you feel like doing at the moment. What are you going for?

AFTER

DEEPENING

FIELD

FIELD was created to strengthen the bond with young talent and to give both the artists and the festival the opportunity to support people in the longer term and to make their “dreams” come true. We focus in particular on students who we feel (after conversations and performances) connect themselves as creators with the world beyond. In a conscious, critical and idiosyncratic way.

PERFORMANCE

ROUTE

STAGE

A program line in which we put creative young people on stage and in which you can participate in great masterclasses yourself. We ensure that you are pampered all day long and of course we close the day with a great party, by none other than Clash!

WORKSHOP

Kom je er toch nog niet helemaal uit? Geen nood: stuur een mailtje naar info@jongeharten.nl en vraag om nadere toelichting. Vermeld de titel van de voorstelling en waar je graag meer duidelijkheid over wilt hebben (is dit iets om met mijn vriend/vriendin naartoe te gaan? het is misschien wel grappig maar toch niet vulgair? dat soort vragen). De programmeurs van het festival geven je dan persoonlijk het verlossende antwoord!
