gobscure presents provoked 2 madness by the brutality of wealth 

 

in a hostel after our worst sectioning a 'support worker' refused to help, saying 'what dya need books for yr homeless?'. this shows our revenge. thirteen years of reading, graduating from the open university in 2016. this highly visual performance is all about asking questions, regaining voice, 'rewriting the future.' we kick the bucket, demonstrate how red tape saves lives, ask is the money happy?, discuss whether its us or the govern-mentals who are the bigger criminals, finally estate-agent plastic gets turned into a wee home lit by a book : housing is a human right. crime-scene tape for all plus online map to post your own crime-scene tape creative resistances to.
