What does $20 mean to you? Is it a mobile phone card? A week's worth of coffees? Or is it an unpaid parking ticket? This is the question New York performing artist Sara Juli poses to the audience in her theatre show The Money Conversation. Each night Juli brings $5,000 from her bank account - in cash - to the theatre and quite simply offers it to the audience. As the evening progresses the ante is upped - $50, $100, $300... The question is, will YOU take it? What does $20 mean to you? Is it a mobile phone card? A week's worth of coffees? Or is it an unpaid parking ticket? This is the question New York performing artist Sara Juli poses to the audience in her theatre show The Money Conversation. Each night Juli brings $5,000 from her bank account - in cash - to the theatre and quite simply offers it to the audience. As the evening progresses the ante is upped - $50, $100, $300... The question is, will YOU take it?Do you keep the money or place it in the deposit box at the exit? Will your conscience cope with the fact you've just taken another person's life-savings, right out of their hands?

The Money Conversation is based on Juli's own experience of financial discussions with her husband, an experience she describes as squirm-inducing. Juli approaches this normally taboo subject in the most daring of ways, releasing her money demons and challenging the audience's own relationships with the all-powerful dollar.

"A truly generous performance. Sara Juli gives of herself and her bank account." The New York Times
