Millennial II Browser History X is the new dark comedy by Hulst & Tarenskeen. The "purveyors of sharp theatrical satire", as de Volkskrant called them, bring with Millennial II Browser History X a piece about the generation that witnessed the birth of the internet, normalised it and is now being overtaken by it at full speed.
 
 

Brick wall, a racing bike on the wall and a large plant in the corner. The Smit family has it all figured out. Two fortysomethings with good jobs, a happy relationship and a fifteen-year-old daughter they are raising according to the progressive left handbook. Consent, transparency, open conversations at the kitchen table. Everything can be talked about. They have nothing to hide.

But it would be a dull play if we didn't put this family through hell. A website appears. With a timer. 24 hours. When the clock hits zero, everyone can see each other's complete browser history. Every search query. Every DM. Every porn night. Every question you ever asked Google or ChatGPT.

Outside, total anarchy breaks out. People are burning laptops and data centres are being stormed. Inside, things go very quiet. The parents decide to tell each other everything in advance. Small confessions grow into bigger ones. Fantasies are spoken aloud, supposedly without judgement. And while their marriage slowly crumbles, their teenage daughter has a different problem.

At school she always pretended she had seen it all. All the shocking videos everyone talked about so casually. In reality she was watching dance tutorials. Now she has 24 hours to catch up on lost innocence. Four screens at once. No breaks. 2 girls 1 cup.
