Please join us this Thursday night for an extraordinary work of visual journalism, a richly illustrated report on a distant catastrophe that is also one of the central stories of our time.

Featuring:

DARWIN’S NIGHTMARE:

“…a tale about humans between the North and the South, about globalization, and about fish.”

Some time in the 1960’s, in the heart of Africa, a new animal was introduced into Lake Victoria as a little scientific experiment. The Nile Perch, a voracious predator, extinguished almost the entire stock of the native fish species. However, the new fish multiplied so fast, that its white fillets are today exported all around the world.

This booming multinational industry has created an ungodly globalized alliance on the shores of the world’s biggest tropical lake: an army of local fishermen, World bank agents, homeless children, African ministers, EU-commissioners, Tanzanian prostitutes and Russian pilots.

Come early for for dinner at The Marketplace!

Special Announcements: Halloween Treats: Popcorn, Candy & Beverages Available at the show on Thursday, from our friends at La Plancha
