PANHANDLERS AND STREET LIFE
Session is cancelled. The encounters between the panhandlers and urban residents are shown in a ‘hidden’ street performance.
Panhandlers and public space: a moment of participation Theatre Group Rolleri
Venue: Pedestrian Street Yliopistonkatu (in case of bad weather Hansa Square) Time: Saturday 21st of May at 14:15–15:15 Participation possible. No money needed.
The borderless Schengen area has brought panhandlers from Southern Europe to the streets of Nordic welfare states. Moreover, face-to-face fundraisers of the NGOs use public spaces to ask for donations. Day after day, the passers-by in the city centre are expected to have fat wallets and to be interested in the foreign musicians, human rights, nuclear waste and nature conservation.
