"If it were that easy, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago." The recklessness of Boomers, the cynicism of Generation X and the passivity of Millennials are driving the youngest generation to take responsibility. Their willingness to break familiar routines and break new ground is making history. But a system is not overthrown without resistance. For those who see their standards in danger also raise their voices. Cries of protest, demanding the ideal of freedom and proclaiming their own oppression, can be heard from both the left and the right. In Aufhören, 15 players from LAB dance out of line and across the stage as they ask themselves: "Who do I have to conform to? What does protesting mean? When should I stop?"
