The Will To Provoke: An Account of Fantastic Schemes for Initiating Social Improvement

Survival Research Laboratories

Documentary of SRL’s 1988 European tour: “SRL ferrets out and gleefully satirizes assorted icons of cultural pride in two of Europe’s more allegedly libertarian social democracies, Holland and Denmark. Not only provides the most comprehensive coverage of SRL’s performances themselves but also delves deeper into the whys and wherefores of SRL’s existence and development. Explores their attitude toward society, their ability to survive with little or no funding, the ideas that go into the making of the machines, and the performance scenarios. Also addressed is how SRL seeks to confound and confront their audiences and their reaction to their host countries in Europe.”
