Guerrilla Theatre in Cambridge
Manos | 24.03.2002 16:56 | Cambridge
Three activists dressed as detainees and one as a soldier. During the act the detainees shouted slogans such as "Americans have human rights, so do Afghanis". The soldier was responding by throwing them to the ground and kicking them. When asked to slightly move out of the way the soldier dragged the detainees which brought the whole street to a standstill.
The performance was very successful in attracting the interest and the comments of the public. The police turned up only to support our right to publicly perform. The performance moved across the centre of Cambridge, and finally joined the Think Twice conference.
