Poor FPK! - A Bambie Benefit Bambie

With a fundraising campaign, Mime Theatre Group Bambie is drawing attention to the difficult situation in which the Performing Arts Fund finds itself. How hard it must have been for the FPK employees to have to disappoint so many theatre groups in the recent subsidy rounds. And to have to hide their love for all those talented performing artists in ugly rejection texts. That's what you get with a government that wants to spend less and less money on art. Please note: the end time mentioned is indicative.

Public opinion is often suppressed or non-existent in authoritarian regimes, making it difficult to uncover what people truly think. How do you stay connected with a country you cannot access?
