THE MONEY
22 - 23 February 2019
h. 20.00
The Money is a cross between a game and a play.
You can choose to be a Silent Witness and watch or a Player and take part in deciding how to spend a real amount of money.
As a Player you can express yourself as you wish. But you must reach an agreement with your teammates before time runs out and by following the rules you will be given. If these conditions are not met, the money goes to the next group of players.
Silent Witnesses can join the Player group at any time and this can change everything.
The playful premise of this celebrated work sets the stage for one of the most memorable conversations you’ll ever witness, as altruism actually soon turns to self-interest, everyone’s personalities clash, and hierarchies are turned upside down.
The results can lead to tensions as in a thriller, or they can be ridiculed as in a farce, but in the end what is asked is: are there really any values we can agree on? Is the most valuable thing of all the common understanding? Finally, what is the most interesting thing we can do together that we can’t escape?
