Description Jeremy Goldstein’s ‘Truth to Power Café’ is a profound theatrical reflection on loss, hope and resistance. This internationally acclaimed performance event is told through memoir, poetry, image, music, and film. It is a unique meditation on time, place, and community, as participants from Adelaide, on Kaurna land, speak passionately from the truth of their lived experience, in response to the question ‘who has power over you and what do you want to say to them?’ Speaking truth to power is a non-violent means of conflict resolution, the origins of which lie in the anti-war movement. In our era of post-truth, and fake news, speaking truth to power is widely accepted to mean saying something to those in a position of trust or authority who don’t want to hear it.
