'The Price of Everything' was
Daniel Bye's performance lecture about the value of things.
Having never been to a performance lecture I found it an odd experience to be part of; however it was also highly engaging. In the first half of the performance, as audience members we were thrown into the factual world of worth. How much are we, as human beings, worth, and what value do we place on the world around us?
The second half consisted of a story telling us how much kindness is
worth - and how it is that we find it much easier to believe a story about a bunch of
idiots buying nothing, than a long continuous chain of
kindness.
Completely bewitching, as well as prompting us to think about our actions as people, Daniel Bye is one definitely worth seeing. If the effective metaphor of milk throughout doesn't sway you then the free glass of milk may. An extraordinary experience.
