The two bands OPPRESSED BY PRIVILEGE and PRIVILEGED BY OPPRESSION will be performing at the same time.
In the run-up to the band rehearsals, the audience was asked to send in self-written lyrics for the respective band names. These texts then served as raw material, which the two bands interpreted musically and performed live.
The original versions of all the submitted texts were compiled in a publication, which was presented on the day of the performance in the Klingental exhibition space during Art Basel 2017. In February 2018, the 12″ vinyl EP was released to accompany the performance at Kunsthalle Basel during the performance exhibition New Swiss Performance Now. The performances were staged under the title "Revolt of the Privileged".
