What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Economy? / Vad Vi Pratar Om När Vi Pratar Om Ekonomi? / 2018

Text by Stefan Åkesson

Adapted by Stefan Åkesson from Yanis Varoufakis’ book “Talking to My Daughter About the Economy,” the show turns the history of money, debt and power into a performance built for a young audience.

Directed by Anja Suša, it walks children through why the world runs on economics without talking down to them — treating them as capable of following, and questioning, how the system actually works.

The production premiered at Backa Teater in Gothenburg, Sweden, on December 7, 2018.
