Anarchistisch centrum Gen
3rd July 2012, 13:21
Vrijdag 13 juli brengt Jerry Levy 'Marx in Soho' in anarchistisch centrum 'Assez'. Plaats van het gebeuren: sparrestraat 1A, Gent (Brugse Poort). De deuren gaan open vanaf 19.30u. Tot 21u kan er genoten worden van een veganistische maaltijd en een drankje (aan zeer democratische prijzen). Om 21 u begint het stuk. En wat moet dat kosten? Vrije bijdrage (u geeft wat u wil/kan). Een buitenkansje dus...
over het stuk:
Marx is back! The premise of this witty and insightful "play on history" is that Karl Marx has agitated with the authorities of the afterlife for a chance to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, though, Marx is sent to Soho in New York, rather than his old stomping ground in London, to make his case.
Howard Zinn, best known for his book, 'A Peoples History of the United States', introduces us to Marx's wife, Jenny, his children, the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, and a host of other characters.
Marx in Soho is a brilliant introduction to Marx's life, his analysis of society, and his passion for radical change. Zinn also shows how Marx's ideas are relevant in today's world.
over Jerry Levy:
Jerry Levy, who teaches sociology at Marlboro College in Vermont and plays Marx, says the one-man show examines not only the political issues of Marxs day, but also his interpersonal ones with his wife and daughter. It points to the relevance of those issues today, in modern life, according to Levy. Karl Marx is alive, well, and on his way to talk about the fall of communism, his life, and the relevance of the collapse of the Soviet Union to todays world through this play.
