Visions of Money - an Act of Creation
VOLL:MILCH
“An ingenious and practical method of organizing a community” – this is how legal scholar Christine Desan describes money. However, this method seems to be terribly misapplied. Although money is available in abundance, it is unfortunately scarce wherever it is needed. Who is allowed to create money? For what purposes? Who receives it first? And why is this accepted? In an interactive theater performance, VOLL:MILCH examines the structures and functioning of modern money. The monetary system is brought to the stage, its historically grown socio-political dimensions are illuminated and critically questioned.
Against the backdrop of false assumptions, images, and ideas about money—as reflected in debt clocks, narratives of money as a neutral medium of exchange, metaphorical threats such as mountains of debt, or the image of the Swabian housewife—the production focuses on the seemingly endless potential of modern money.
The performance will be in in German.
