Defence to Forbid
Immersive Performance
Everything Must Go, London - June 2018
Defence to Forbid is a funeral procession of lost public spaces to privatisation, a ritual lament and claim for democratic rights. The performance is an immersive promenade oratorio that physically and sonically maps the politics of Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) in London and the UK.
