“When the right-wing populists take power,”
“Barbro Westling participate in a crisis exercise with the Public Plot”
“This is a kulturartikel which is a part of Aftonbladet’s opinionsjournalistik.”
“”If the crisis or the war will” is the name of the brochure that was handed out to five million Swedish households for one year ago. The same format has the brochure that comes with the interactive performance the Body and the punishment. But this is about preparedness for a scenario of högerpopulisterna take power.”
“the Author Henrik Bromander, and the director, John Hanse from the collective Public Plot informs the audience on which social location, we should imagine. For example, Inkonst in Malmö, the stand-alone scene for the warped and different performances, in which we find ourselves, would probably be used for other things.”
“nSå follow the instructions to the audience. We try to act interrogated and förhörare, we build förvaringsburar of steel and placed themselves there. What activities can keep the group together, how to act against the guards and the directive? How to keep panic away with a black tight hood over the head with an iron pipe in the hands of the back?”
“While it lasts, we get the practical advice and knowledge, retrieved from the security service, the police work with gängkriminella, legal professionals thoughts on the need for new laws, etc. The exercises are followed by questions and the opportunity to discuss. Violence & education was a similar previous Public Plot-projects targeted to the extra-parliamentary left and the Body, and the punishment has been for a few weeks made with the invited groups. Only two performances are for the public.”
“It’s educational, quiet and respectful: a serious framtidslaboratorium in a development that is going on in our society. I save the brochure.”
