DESCRIPTION:What if everything in a radically neoliberal society was shaped
	 by human labor\ninstead of technology?\n\nPull up a chair with artist Ros
	a Vrij\, who personally guides you through a\nfictional universe contained
	 within a small suitcase. This "capitalist fairy\ntale" unfolds through mi
	niatures\, music boxes\, comic drawings and documents.\n\n\nFREE ENTRANCE 
	- RSVP\n\nFirst Performance (19:30)\n[https://mediamatic.stager.co/shop/de
	fault/events/111664435]\n\nSecond Performance (20:15)\n[https://mediamatic
	.stager.co/shop/default/events/111664436]\n\nIn this capitalist fairy tale
	\, acrobats play the role of furniture\; politicians\nplay pool all day lo
	ng\; teenagers launch themselves as brands during the Wig\nCeremony\; cons
	umption is encouraged by dancing advertising teams on roller\nskates\; and
	 a resistance group of the Wigless attempts to change the system.\n\nIt is
	 a playful\, humorous exaggeration of our own reality\, designed to make t
	he\nabsurdity of modern logic literally palpable. In a world driven by eff
	iciency\,\nthis performance is a counterweight of meticulous handiwork and
	 a much-needed\node to the collective imagination.\n\nEnlarge\n[https://ww
