Geen Therapie starts from the setting of a pop concert and explores the theatricality within this format. In Geen Therapie, Teletext draws from the deep, post-ironic sorrow that the 21st-century Western human grapples with. Speaking are characters—alter egos—struggling with the tension between empathy and irony. Between self-care and self-mockery. Between hedonistic apathy and blind panic. They are needed, they are not needed, they are needed, they are not needed. While they embody the spirit of the times, they fiercely resist it.

Throughout the process, Teletext explores hybrid performative forms that enrich the pop concert with a music-theatrical dimension. As theatre-maker-musicians, how can one create space on a pop stage for transformation, play, theatrical imagination, and dramaturgical layering? The dramaturgy of Geen Therapie departs from the theatrical codes of a concert and actively employs them. It embraces the rhythms, dynamics, and breathing spaces of a concert, while simultaneously stretching and disrupting the boundaries of music. This is done using the artistic language developed in earlier projects: literary slow-rap, characters within songs, and a content-driven dramaturgical line.
