PINK MON€Y is performance, party, protest. Pink Money is the currency of the LGBTI community, the spending capacity of tolerance and the tourism that goes with it – to Cape Town, for instance, a Mecca of the queer community, with a legal situation more liberal than that of most other places in the world. But who gets Pink Money, and at what price? How much freedom can you afford? Fighting against labels and for tolerance, the artists’ collective celebrates diversity and stands against black-and-white thinking, discrimination and violence. The energetic performance declares the nightlife to be the counter-model of conventional everyday existence. Always keeping their eye on the ramified consequences of race, class and gender. Because the business of Pink Money is based on a global phenomenon of violence against people who live and love differently from all the rest.
