20 Years Later

20 YEARS LATER

An investigation into what it means to grow up in the wake of 9/11


"20 Years Later" is a documentary theatre performance created from testimonies and interviews with people aged 20 and under exploring what they have been taught about September 11, 2001. The play is comprised of testimonies from young people, and those who were teenagers on September 11, 2001 investigating what it means to be the "post 9-11 generation".


The purpose of this performance is to create a conversation around how history, defining events and memories are passed onto the next generation and explore how media, specifically social media “creates memories” and distributes knowledge. "20 Years Later" is inspired by the 2011 work "10 Years Later" created between Co-Op Theatre East and Project Girl (now Girl Be Heard) with young people about the decade after September 11, 2001.
