Starting-point for this work is a public debate between individuals who can be described as left-wing and right-wing anarchists. It took place at Casco Projects, Utrecht in 2007 (click here for more information). The debate was transcribed, turned into a theatrical script and read out by a panel of five academics during the Critical Legal Conference at Birkbeck School of Law, London. The debate that evolved after the reading was again transcribed and added as a new act to the script. Subsequent readings in different oral arenas involved actors, free speech activists, young students and art professionals. They followed the same procedure of reading and discussing, causing a snow ball effect that lead to a series of video registrations and a final seven act script entitled ‘Speech as a Political Act’.
