Premiere
Christophe Meierhans' Trials of Money take on new form in preliminary hearings

This new version of the performance is based on the testimonies gathered from nine witnesses: an ex-banker, a homeless person, a Native American, a professor of economics among others. The audience is invited to take part in a fictitious tribunal conducted as a collective exercise where all those present freely assume the role of accusation or defence. After its premiere at Zona K, the hearings will also find a stage at classes in Economics at several Universities.
