Abroad: Financial Crisis Theatre in Iceland

Bjorn of the Danish collaborative SUPERFLEX alerted the gallery to a theatre project in Iceland that echoes prior projects by SUPERFLEX. On 12 April the Special Investigative Committee of the Parliament will release the report addressing the events and causes leading up to the banking crisis in Iceland. The staff of the Reykjavik City Theatre has decided to read the document out loud in its entirety. It is approx. 2000 pages long and will be read aloud by a troupe of 45 actors over 3-5 days. There will be a televised broadcast of the event and open admission for the whole nation.
