The Big Sale

Whose debt, whose ownership?
A Performance-Lecture & publication on Debt ‘The Big Sale’investigates austerity and illegitimate debt in the Greek crisis context. With voice and spoken word as primary sonic elements, it examines how language can be activated through performance to preserve cultural memory and question dominant narratives. From personal stories to findings from the Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt, the work uses poetry as a departure point to question economic value, national identity and public space. This performance-lecture invites the audience to dive into the relationship between financial and cultural capital.
