WORLD PREMIERE Karamel Club June 2018.

When four teenagers come together for a class project, alcohol and boredom lead to a sadistic game. But what happens when no one acknowledges the violence?

Flash explores sexual aggression in youth culture and the language surround it.

Classmates Carrie, Christian, Laura and Oliver get together one evening to complete a group assignment for their ‘Health Class’ at school. The assignment is simple – it’s a reflection on who you’ve been and who you might become. But as boredom kicks in, the group fail to take their homework seriously and embark on a series of games including Spin the Bottle, throwing each other in the pool, drinking and wrestling fights. It doesn’t take long before the games take a slightly more sadistic turn and new girl Laura falls victim to them. The group slowly dehumanises Laura, until she becomes nothing but a body.

Are they all just ‘bad people’, or is something larger driving their actions?

Flash looks at the relationship between teenage sexual aggression and language. A ‘rite of passage’ or the typical ‘teen phase’ is a repeated history we wish to challenge.

It does not hide away and has no interest in pointing fingers, but rather puts factors such as environment and language to the test.
