a workshop to experiment the theatre of politics and exercise your vote

This workshop is an invitation to sit at the table, talk, discuss, plot and eat. There won't be missing a menu with delicious and politically appetizing dishes, through which we experiment ways of through which we experience forms of government and characters directly from all over the world and from all times, such as the one that slowly moves through the system, the Bureaucracy turtle.

Together, we will try to find answers for a couple of questions: is the king always in charge? Do we all know how to order? And who decides? And how does one decide? And whom decides how one can decide? What is politics? What is an assembly? Is the family a ruling or misruling system? Who is in charge at home? Is it easy being fair? Who invents the law? And what is the law for? Together, we will decide each step of our journey through quick and instant assemblies, whilst listening to stories, experimenting the theatre of politics and change the roles of governors and governed. Are you ready to vote?
