Parental Ctrl is a performance-concert about generation Y and their parents, about the escape from reality and the dependence on virtuality, about the inevitable connections and ruptures between generations.

Warning: because of the excessive use of strobe lights, fog machine and loud music, we do not recommend this performance for children, people with epilepsy, pacemakers and pregnant women.
