Theatrum is a documentary focusing on gender roles during childhood and children’s ability to detach themselves from these roles, all dealt with from a feminist perspective. During a theatre workshop in a prejudice-free environment, a group of children accepts the challenge of creating a fairer society. They write a play that reveals the keys to understanding what adults cannot do because of the emotional weight of their own experiences, leaving them unable to build a better world.
It is a learning experience in two different ways. On the one hand, the workshop helps children grow freely and on the other, the documentary highlights how experience can help us move towards a more egalitarian society.
Children hold the key to understanding ourselves as well as the tools to improve ourselves.
