Interview with Empatheatre co-founder and theatre Director Neil Coppen. The interview focusses on Empatheatre's 2019 performance 'Boxes,' which engaged themes of spatial justice and gentrification in the City of Cape Town. This interview forms part of Dr Carla Lever's research into occupation as a form of protest, and engages with the notion of activism as performance, and performance as activism.

Informal Zoom meeting on 2021-11-19.
