Celebrating the Funeral of Capitalism

"We hereby wish to announce that capitalism passed away peacefully yesterday, after a long illness. We would like to invite you to a service to celebrate the passing of an economic and social system that has divided opinion. But we know now that we must say goodbye and plan a new future, for ourselves, for future generations, and for the planet."

In this immersive theatre experience, there will be space for letting go, space for sadness and space for celebration. With elements of theatre, dance, and music, Celebrating the Funeral of Capitalism is a performative ritual that transitions into a communal celebration. Because if we cry together, we can dance together. If we eat together, we can start talking about how we want to live together.

Easy-to-read:

"Capitalism is dead. After a long time, we are saying goodbye to a system that has caused much controversy. Now it's time to start again - for ourselves, our children and the planet."

The piece is about farewells and new beginnings. The evening includes theatre, dance and music. The audience sometimes joins in - for example with questions, conversations and discussions about our society. The piece is humorous and shows how important community is. At the end, everyone eats together. (The meal is included in the ticket price).

The performance on 17.01. opens the anniversary programme on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Brandenburg State Association of Independent Performing Arts. For all other events and information about the regional association, visit the website www.freie-daku-brandenburg.de.
