Power Game is a dynamic card game and improvised art performance, devised and performed by Liliane Lijn. Originally staged in 1974, and restaged at the ICA, London, in 2009, it explores the power of words and the politics of identity. Enter the casino: a glamorous setting of leafy palms, music, cocktails and cross-dressers. At the heart of the game are the invited players, who have been chosen for their wit, originality and status. The players, who in 1974 included Derek Jarman, bet their own money on the comparative power of two words, which is decided by a vote. You can buy chips (to enter the casino and play) or watch the action live in the BALTIC Café Bar. Part of AV Late & Live.
