In the play \u201cA Song Emphasized by Youths\u201d performed at National Theatre on\u00a0International Youth Day 2018, discrimination against LGBT youths in social community\u00a0has been depicted and performed for educational purpose.<\/p>\n
The play is about teachers giving message that the right of each human being, personal\u00a0right to choose and decide should be respected when they see two transgender\u00a0students, being teased and mocked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI chose the character of LGBT as a brave character. And a person with good-looking\u00a0personality as he is going to be dressed up like a girl. Just like this. As I have performed\u00a0in LGBT characters, I can see who fits this performance. Then, I talk about it with him\u00a0and he agreed willingly. I want LGBT character in this play to make it more colorful. Our\u00a0thought varied from person to person. Youths can be existed in various forms,\u201d said Ko Pyae Sone form organizing team.<\/p>\n
In this play, 22 students from Youth Messenger Team performed and depicted not only\u00a0about difficulties of LGBTs but also about difficulties of youths in each sector and\u00a0various situations which youths are currently facing by singing songs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year\u2019s motto is \u201cSecure youth\u2019s lives to have safe and pleasant future world\u201d.<\/p>\n
There are 4 facts to avoid harm and to have security. We added about LGBT in the play\u00a0for those who do not accept discriminations which usually happen around us. We\u00a0sometimes use some usages just like others but we add it to make people know that\u00a0these usages should not be used. It is included as a part of the play. The matters about\u00a0thinking something is wrong if it is different from normal standard are also included,\u201d\u00a0said Dr. Nay Win (Technical advisor, Youth Project, Myanmar Doctors Association).<\/p>\n
Dr. Nay Win explained that the objective of the play is to have security in the\u00a0environments of youths, to make youths develop without violence, to enable youths to\u00a0join in public and political affairs just like other people, to have equal right to speak and\u00a0decide in accordance with democracy standards, to gain right to access health care and\u00a0to create art and to free from poison when dealing with modern technologies.<\/p>\n
