Freedom of

speech

Saturday September 7th, 15.30 - SALT, Langhuset

You've heard her voice before but never like this. Eliza Jane Schneider's one-woman play Freedom of Speech created a captivating archive of the voices of a nation - and soon she'll be doing that on a global scale - with a podcast of the same name.

From the heart of Portland, arguably America's populist frontline, Freedom of Speech raises the question: "What kind of revolution do we REALLY want?" Eliza Jane Schneider brings to life the 7000 real interviews and opinions she collected over a 317,000-mile trip around America and, subsequently, the world.
Originally traveling around the country in a converted ambulance, Schneider asked anyone who would answer, "What's going on?" The play and podcast are a living archive of these answers, each one unique and personal.

More than just a play, Freedom of Speech is an anthropological marvel - an unfettered look at American culture gathered through honest and open conversation, and a uniquely female brand of listening...

PRESS REVIEWS:

- Time-Out New York

"Captivating! A vivid aural photo album of America."
- New York Post
