This Machine Kills Fascists
A stage spectacle inspired by the life and work of Woody Guthrie, the legendary American folk singer who inspired Bob Dylan.
Harsh, honest, and direct. A protest-song dressed in a theatrical form, championing anti-racism, equality and resistance to fascism.
Guthrie has never been known to compromise. His constant conflicts with the possible things of this world come alive on stage - politicians, big corporations, guardians of the "American dream". It was in this fight, led not by a rifle, but by a guitar, that his famous motto was born: this machine kills fascists.
This is no nostalgic trip, it is a compelling indictment of the rich and the powerful as relevant today as it was in the 1960s - in music, politics, society, and the fight for ordinary people's rights.
