From Adelaide to Zagreb and now in Vancouver for its Canadian premiere, Jeremy Goldstein’s Truth to Power Café is a profound theatrical reflection on loss, hope, and resistance. This internationally acclaimed award-winning performance event is told through memoir, image, film, poetry, music, and true and authentic stories from the people of Vancouver in response to the question: Who has power over you and what do you want to say to them?

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. Is it to your parents, a sibling, politician, landlord, neighbour, banker, boss, or simply your best friend? It’s time to tell them the truth before it’s too late.

Truth to Power Café is inspired by the political and philosophical beliefs of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter and his inner Jewish circle “The Hackney Gang”, who included Jeremy Goldstein’s late father, Mick Goldstein, and poet and actor Henry Woolf.

The Queer Review New York describes Truth to Power Café as “A stunning work of theatrical activism.”

Community members are invited to share their stories and participate in this powerful event. For details, click here.
