A Tale of Trash Mountains, Garbage Rivers, and Migratory Birds.
Franziska Pierwoss & Sandra Teitge
The performance/dinner A Tale of Trash Mountains, Garbage Rivers, and Migratory Birds, staged on the esplanade of Sursock Museum by Franziska Pierwoss and Sandra Teitge, brought together activists, journalists, a local politician, engineers, waste processers and managers, who confronted each other in front of a TV crew and the reporter Foutoun Raad (who had covered the ‘You Stink’ protests), enacting a ‘talk show’ or possibly a ‘reality show’ on how to find solutions to the ongoing waste disposal emergency.
