Daniel Bye gives a performance lecture about value , not to be confused with a play or even a comedy routine. The show provides everyone in the audience a pint of milk and also compares the value of the arts in terms of cost , we all pay about 17p to support the arts , but they generate over twice that to the economy.Which means in financial terms alone the Arts make good economic investment sense.
According the the review in The Herald
"Bye is an engagingly down to earth and self-deprecatory raconteur, but make no mistake – these are revolutionary ideas he's advocating in the friendliest way imaginable. They're ideas too which a lot more people are looking to as capitalism looks increasingly untenable."Alas the show is more absurd than radical , informative in a teasing unconnected way , in a superficial "made up shit" manner that dissipates the meaning in the message and concludes in a vacuous appeal to be kind to random strangers."What could possibly be edifying about sitting listening to me lying about capitalism"is a fitting synopsis from Daniel himself about the show and how he himself takes the edge out of a valid hard-hitting lesson.
