reform
reform is an outdoor performance work that behaves itself... to the extreme.
reform is a unique intervention and darkly comic performance work combined with live radio broadcast for a small audience to take on-foot in the city streets. pvi's elite social control taskforce the loyal citizens underground attempt to become model citizens and reform wayward behaviour by adhering to all local laws 'to the letter'. A radical vision of community watch gone awry, the l.c.u take the moral high ground to see who else is willing and able to reform. Tuning in via portable fm radios audiences station themselves in coffee shops, bus stops and street corners to witness a ripe underbelly of civil disobedience emerge.
reform casts a cynical eye over the politics of public safety and the rules we live by. Presenting a not-too-fictional orwellian vision of the future where our every move is monitored for political correctness.
reform is the first in pvi collectives 'future belongs to crowds' series which investigates how different modes of collective behaviour can generate social change.
