The Powerless

The Powerless is a documentary production by Barbara T’Jonck, Martha Balthazar, and May Abnet about the sense of powerlessness among people who have the most power. 

It is a search for how responsibility and liability work, how they are experienced among the ‘ruling class’, and who exactly that ruling class is today. 

The production dissects the alienation of power by means of in-depth interviews with dignitaries in the EU bubble. In a monologue that feels like an out-of-control reception, the audience follows all these conversations. And there is one big question: who is actually the boss?
