Contact Theatre, Oxford Rd, Manchester M15
During this one-hour event, you will see anthropology as you have never seen it before. You will explore, together with a team of mad anthropologists, the worlds of humour and academia in the political present. If anthropology were a fruit: Which one? Why is there no racism in Mexico? What’s new about Nazis in Germany?And: What’s wrong with Raúl’s uncle Gene? Come fine out!
