The new summer show by theatre group YoungGangsters is called The Poverty Peepshow. <\/strong>Poverty presented as a Disneyworld attraction park: a milliondollar ride you’ll never forget!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many reality programmes on Dutch TV programmes like Een dubbeltje op z\u2019n kant, Steenrijk straatarm and Uitstel van executie<\/em>, to name but a few deal with poverty. They\u2019re known as \u201cpoverty porn\u201d, because rather than dealing with the social causes of poverty, they pander to viewers\u2019 voyeurism, by showing juicy exaggerations of personal dramas. The Poverty Peepshow by theatregroup YoungGangsters makes use of the same mechanism: peddling the appeal of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These TV programmes reinforce the existing clich\u00e9 images of poverty. In the homes of poor residents, you always see explicit shots of full ashtrays, pets and widescreen TVs, suggesting that these people spend their money on unnecessary luxuries and lead an unhealthy life. In other words, that it\u2019s their own fault they\u2019ve ended up in difficulties\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
