About this activity.
There Will Be Light is the new project by Studio Julian Hetzel, taking place at Grand Theatre Groningen from 24 June - 02 July. The project repurposes cultural money as a basic income given to one person for one year. A performance about the precarious economy of hope.
In the context of There Will Be Light, on June 30th at 8.30 pm, Studio Julian Hetzel i.c.w. Grand Theatre Groningen organises an open conversation with Denise Harleman from Collectief Kapitaal and theatre critic Wouter Hillaert to discuss some pressing questions raised by the project.
The evening gives room for an in-depth conversation between audience, artists, experts from arts and everyday life, and everyone who’s curious to join. We welcome anyone to join and think with us in this open conversation. Let’s open up the discussion. Let’s gather, talk, and think together.

Denise Harleman, Collectief Kapitaal
Denise Harleman is the founder of Collectief Kapitaal. The initiative started as a social-financial experiment on financial (in)security. The project started in the summer of 2021 when 100 people contributed €400 each to offer to five other people €1000 for eight months. Apart from the legal frameworks, no conditions are attached to the use of this income; it doesn't matter what choices are made, it's about the possibility of choices. By keeping track of how the experiment goes, Collective Capital not only tries to improve the living standards: in the long run it also wants to connect the knowledge gained from the process with the ‘system-world’. Collectief Kapitaal is an independent experiment, working together with partners, including: the Municipality of Amsterdam, Tolhuistuin, Nibud, Protestant Diaconie and Aanmelder.nl.
