Little Strokes Dialogue, Forever Young: Elin Grinaker & Mads Eslund, 13/7 2010

Little Strokes, home of the Trade arts project. Forever Young:

"We had a conversation about the younger generation’s confusion and lack of interest towards growing up and becoming established adults. Our 30-something host took another sip of his beer, smiled and indicated that if they grow up any slower than our generation, 50 would soon be the new 20.

How does different generations define being adult? How is self-realization connected to the time we live in? What happens in a society where everyone stays a teenager?

For Frank Martin and Ylva/Elin and Mads – Write a dialogue, inspired by one of these questions. It should contain some or all of the following sentences, in one way or another: “…To follow the stream or float astray, to sink or survive….” – “It’s the way the past turns into the future.” – “Money controls everything.” – “One of my dreams just came true!”
