Abstract

This is a performance lecture of statements/ records/ made up lies. We collected testimonies that spoke of some of the violences that we are facing – from Greece and Turkey - but these glimpses of frustration, bruising, broken dreams are evident everywhere, with different masks and excuses: ‘neoliberalism’/ ‘extremism’/ ‘factionism’/‘unionism’. All have the common suggestion: that this is how we play the game.
