Part documentary, part confession, part open conversation, the multi-award-winning Yes, Yes, Yes is a theatre show created specifically for young adults returns to Australia in 2025 for a national tour.
Jamie and Ari like each other. Karin and Tom do too. They might be at two separate parties, but their stories are identical. Until they really aren’t.
Exploring the knotty and necessary topics of healthy relationships, desire and consent, it blends audience interaction with captivating solo performance. Featuring in-depth interviews with teenagers, Yes Yes Yes is empathic empowering and engaging for youth audiences and carers alike.
Humorous, witty and moving, it sparks conversation where conversation can be difficult! The result is a funny, generous and innovative piece of contemporary theatre that speaks directly to one of the most pressing issues young people face today, and holds its audience at its heart.
International research tells us the most effective way to support young people to have happy, healthy relationships is to talk about the good stuff – desire, attraction and most importantly consent, and what it looks like.
“Young people actually already have the skills, but they haven’t always been taught to use them in sexual or romantic contexts,” said Karin McCracken, co-creator of Yes Yes Yes.
Yes Yes Yes will commence at the Geelong Arts Centre (29 & 30 April), before playing at selected venues across Australia. For more information, visit: www.ebkm.co.nz for details.
