A Play that takes a satirical view on Europe’s decision making processes.
THE COMMITTEE is a good humoured reflection on the present mechanisms of political and economical decision making in Europe. The play is presented on a meeting room – or any other space where a big meeting could be held - and shows how language can be used as a tool for imposing power and hiding the truth.
Around a large meeting table, the members of a Steering Committee (the actors) sit with the rest of the Committee members (the audience) and try to present them, in a persuasive way, the Action Plan they have prepared. Elaborate graphics, complex terminologies and bureaucratic procedures are the weapons used to hide the incompetence and safeguard the interests of these “serious” individuals! In the end, the Action Plan will be submitted to the audience’s approval through a voting. Will there be a consensus?
