This participatory performance flips the script: instead of destroying the welfare state like Elon Musk & Co., audience volunteers smash the privileges of tech oligarchs and the super-rich. Cardboard boxes labeled “corporate lobbying”, “privatized healthcare”, “rearmament funding” and more sit on a table, awaiting a symbolic wooden “chainsaw”. Volunteers step up, choose a target and demolish it—followed by an interview on their intention, sparking a debate about the politics behind the gesture.
Cost: suggested two performances on Friday, Sept. 11th (morning session, afternoon session)
