Home: The Intimacy of Debt and Inequality
  • Brighton Fringe

This aerial circus cabaret show explores homes in their mesmerising complexity. Is it a place to live? Or is it a financial asset?A home could simply be a place to live and sleep, a basic necessity. But it is so much more.For some a space of love, nurture and community. For others frictions, coercion and domestic work. A home is also a financial asset whose price only ever seems to move up, up, and again. Home-ownership has become unreachable for many. Housing fuses our intimate living spaces to global financial markets as we struggle to pay " or refuse " our debts.Join us on this journey through the home in which Brighton-based aerial acrobats scale sky-high towers of debt and contort around the housing ladder. We offer moments of joy, tangled frustrations, exhilarating emotions and quiet reflections.This performance draws from the research project "Asset-based Inequality in the Age of Asset Management", led by Dr Mareike Beck, Kings College London, and funded by the Leverhulme Foundation.Suitable for curious kids, teens and adults.Please buy a ticket that's most relevant to your housing situation.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
