“At 70 years old, if I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be to use the words “fuck off” much more frequently. The weird thing is, you get more comfortable in yourself, even as time is giving you less reason for it. I think one of the great advantages of getting older is that you let go

of certain things.” (Hellen Miller)

​

Too Old For This S*** is a full evening dance theater piece with a cast of 8 female performers, ages 13 until 71. The show is emotive, thought provoking, funny and communicative. It begins with a communal timeline, in which the women  compare milestones they experienced at different ages, such as getting their period, falling in love, losing loved ones and

career successes. This discussion of age is a trigger to connect, share their stories, experiences, hopes and dreams. It is about life and female strength.

Too Old For This S*** gives a refreshing and important view on how a group of mixed aged women can interact with each other, also outside of the more common family structure.

Intergenerational meetings are rare to find, yet very important for the current cultural discussions about feminism, aging and self-awareness.
