Truth to Power Café
From Adelaide to Zagreb and now in Vancouver for its Canadian premiere, Jeremy
Goldstein’s Truth to Power Café is a profound theatrical reflection on
loss, hope, and resistance. This internationally acclaimed award-winning
performance event is told through memoir, image, film, poetry, music, and
true and authentic stories from the people of Vancouver in response to the
question: ‘who has power over you and what do you want to say to them?’
Personal,
professional, political - speaking truth to power is a non-violent means
of conflict resolution, the origins of which lie in the anti-war movement.
Is it to your parents, a sibling, politician, landlord, neighbour, banker,
boss, or simply your best friend? It’s time to tell them the truth before
it’s too late. Truth to Power Café is inspired by the political and
philosophical beliefs of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter and
his inner Jewish circle “The Hackney Gang”, who included Jeremy
Goldstein’s late father, Mick Goldstein, and poet and actor Henry Woolf.
