The New Corporation reveals how the corporate takeover of society is being justified by the sly rebranding of corporations as socially conscious entities. From gatherings of corporate elites in Davos\, to climate change and spiraling inequality; the rise of ultra-right leaders\, to Covid-19 and racial injustice\, the film looks at corporations’ devastating power. In the face of inequality\, climate change\, and the hollowing out of democracy. The New Corporation is a cry for social justice\, democracy\, and transformative solutions.\n \n Tickets URL:https://simcoestreettheatre.ca/event/the-new-corporation/ LOCATION:Simcoe Street Theatre\, 65 Simcoe Street\, Collingwood\, Ontario\, L9Y 1H7\, Canada ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://simcoestreettheatre.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/BTC.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20241114T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20241114T210000 DTSTAMP:20260503T045228 CREATED:20241010T230806Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241024T203121Z UID:10000119-1731607200-1731618000@simcoestreettheatre.ca SUMMARY:Yonnhe’ón:we Indigenous Art Series - Confronting Ghosts DESCRIPTION:Yonnhe’ón:we Indigenous Art Series\nThe storytelling series returns for its final show of 2024\, inviting the community to dive deep into the richness of and power of Indigenous storytelling.
