Truth to Power Café

Personal, professional, political - speaking truth to power is a non-violent means of conflict resolution, the origins of which lie in the anti-war movement. In our era of fake-news, alternative fact and post-truth, speaking truth to power is now widely accepted to mean saying something to those in authority, or position of trust who don’t want to hear it. Is it to your parents, a sibling, politician, landlord, neighbour, boss, banker or simply your best friend? It’s time to tell them the truth before it’s too late.

To sign up and take part please tell us in 100 words or less who you are, and what you want to say in response to the question:
WHO HAS POWER OVER YOU AND, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO THEM?

We welcome participants of all ages, experiences and backgrounds with true and authentic stories to tell in response to the question. Selected submissions will be developed into short monologues of up to 500 words and presented by the participants in their own voice. Participants can elect to memorise their monologue or read it from the page or their phone as part of the performance event.
