You can read 'lies' in the title, or 'eyes', or Pound, Yen, Euro and Dollar. Anyhow, whether falsities or currencies, it's about money.
In this game-inspired immersive and participatory performance, award-winning theatre company Ontroerend Goed invites you to become part of the super-rich, the elite 1% who control the global economy. Take their chairs, call the shots and get ready to question everything you think you know about the world of high finance.
At a gaming table, directed by a croupier, you start your own bank. In this den of scheming and trading, it’s your adrenaline and investment decisions – not the roll of dice – that matter. There may be no time for ethics; you’re in to win. Things get complicated: you can up your risk, trade in debt, make mergers and acquisitions. How’s your credit rating? Who gets bailed out, who gets junk status, who implodes? Are you really in control or are you being played?
Taste the heady atmosphere of trading markets and feel the heat of money moving as £¥€$ delves into the complex and often manipulative world of financial markets. In the process, you might even make the world a better place.
