Theatre-maker Greg Nottrot works through an idealistic dream. Three days of Good Gold Money yields over €11,000 in surplus capital
Utrecht - Last weekend delivered the reprise of the show Good gold money a whopping €11138.16. Over three days, theatre producer Greg Nottrot (the NUT) played to diverse audiences at Heimland Festival and in Utrecht in front of a Tilburg business club to raise excess capital. The performance and the money are the prelude to the world-improving theatrical conference at Oerol 2025: The Capitalists.
Good gold money premiered at Oerol Festival in 2023. The performance confronts the audience with the complexity of money and the ethical dilemmas that come with it. With his activist and theatrical work, Nottrot makes his audience think. In total, he made it with Good gold money EUR 116,195.86,000 in excess capital since the premiere.
On Friday 21 and Sunday 23 June, it was the turn of the audience at the Heimland Festival (Diepenheim). On the Friday evening, a conversation with Sander Schimmelpenninck took place afterwards, about the gap between rich and poor. On Saturday 22 June, Good gold money for - sometimes particularly abrasive - dialogue at a meeting of KoBra (Stichting Kunst en onderneming Brabant). Despite, or precisely because of, the fact that the performance balances on the edge of discomfort, these performances also responded to the feeling that 'something' must be done to solve growing inequality.
