It was a time where prosperity came crashing to a halt. A period riddled with emergency, panic and political buzzwords. Where the only solution was to spend our way out of trouble. Everybody was to blame. Nobody was to blame. Here it all is, distilled in one hour of performance.
Sounds like a hoot! Okay maybe not at first. But take one acclaimed Australian performance group, 60 minutes and then consider the fact that the ladies are: (a) not experts on this subject, and (b) decided not to do any research beforehand. And all of a sudden the Global Financial Crisis is an absolute scream.
In a single hour, performance trio post (Zoe Coombs Marr, Mish Grigor and Natalie Rose, who are about to tour this work to the UK) attempt to explain all things GFC. Staged at the recently reopened Giant Dwarf Everything I know about the Global Financial Crisis in One Hour is a bold take on a serious reality and a guaranteed night of hilarity and education. Maybe.
