So young people write today? What topics do they cover? This book may provide a model for what young people think and how they see the world. On this occasion, we return and confirm what was said previously on other occasions: They write themselves, their lost lives in complex worlds so obscure that they are impossible to write. In these three texts, the ego is present, but it gradually turns into a comprehensive “I” that expresses an entire generation. Each of them writes his lived present, but this present is so fast-paced that it is difficult to capture it and express it in a way that fixes it in a specific form. The question that results from this observation: Can these young people actually live their present? The texts contained in the book are part of the product of a playwriting workshop, which we called “Writing for the Stage.” The name is not arbitrary, but rather carries a specific meaning linking the text and the performance, writing and directing on the stage. This workshop was organized by the Citizen Artists Foundation in 2016
