And Obviously It's All Down to Capitalism After All
A turbo-capitalist performance
Zwinger 3
Welcome to the ultimate family game for adults and children: Capitalism. Here you find a peaceful equality of opportunities. The rules are tough, but fair. Everyone can reach high and only the sky is the limit. If only there weren't the same people over and over again who don't try hard enough.
Before we start, say it out loud three times: It's just a game. It's just a game. It's just a game. Now we're ready to go. Your starting position on the game board of capitalism determines whether you have a chance to advance or stand still. We are all pawns in this game, helping to keep the rules the way they are. Find out for yourself whether you take the butter off other people's bread or lead the redistribution. Whether you're fit to be a winner or a loser. But wait, who are we actually playing against?
This is Kollektiv Neuland's second piece for Theater und Orchester Heidelberg. With it, they issue an invitation to a turbo-capitalist apocalyptic spectacle and ask (uncomfortable) questions about privilege, equal opportunities and class membership.
This production is accompanied by a programme from the Arts & Education team.
