Investment is a magical piece, which is able to talk about the serious issues of charity consumerism, culture, politics and the environment without forcing it down anyone’s throat. It allows each of the proposals to have a life of their own and doesn’t create a hierarchy of what people should do with their own lives as we constantly struggle with the absurdities of this created culture. It’s a dance piece, a theatre piece, and maybe even a public service announcement for the lottery itself.
