Gen X Gen Z

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton on May 10th, there is a show coming up called Gen X Gen Z. It is billed as a parent and child show, which is an interesting angle for a performance. Rather than following a standard format, the content seems to be built around a conversation or exploration between two generations, bridging the gap between their respective experiences.

The themes they are covering are quite specific and eclectic. The show touches on topics like the work of Tom of Finland, the realities of breastfeeding, the changing perceptions of men, and the experience of raving at the Hacienda decades apart. It sounds like an attempt to put these two very different life stages and cultural moments in the same room to see how they compare.

Since the event is happening right here in Brighton, it might be worth checking out if you are interested in how these generational perspectives intersect. It is not every day you see a show that explicitly links the club culture of the past with the parenting and social dynamics of the present. It is a straightforward setup: a parent and child sharing their stories and observations, which could offer a unique look at how much—or how little—has actually changed over the years.
