AMANDA'S SHOP

“The Running Spider” is my nickname for “the Boss”, named Amanda. She plays an important role to launch our first enterprise in social change. Goal: to make the city divers and attractive, colourful, peaceful and beautiful again.

By lack of an office and HQ I was allowed to weave my web and to motivate the visitors of participating in the first project: ROLEPLAY 1. It is the story of a group of creative underdogs to fight the dumbing down, of their children f.i. and of themselves.

Why I call her the Running Spider? Mostly successfull spiders grow big and fat and await their prey, which touches the web. They are seized, packed and stored for consumption, while still being alive. Finally it is eaten, still consciousness by something that cannot be seen.

It is a horrible story but also a metaphor. A metaphor for the present situation of the world-population.

A Running Spider is moving around in her territory. Multi-tasking and omnipresent. She has the world in her heart.

She has one ofthe leading roles in “Roleplay 1”.

In the meantime: Atlantis Rising”.

In the capital of our province they run into the problem of “hangjongeren”. Groups of young people, that gather on public places. They are loud, insulting, agressive and turn the place into a mess.

That cannot be permitted, especially when a European Meeting and Cultural Display is organised for the coming summer.

How to get rid of these youth? First they used electronic warfare. Micro-waves were emitted that irritated the young (and the dogs). It did not work and the number of “urban gangsters” grew.

The next step: to play military marching-music.

Humanity forgets. Untill 1945 marching music was heard on every street and public place.

Where? In Nazi-Germany.
