GOD SAVE THE TEA is a performance-intervention created for the TAPDEN conference at the Barbican Centre, London. A dignified English hostess serves tea to the audience, with the help of her servants. They follow her carrying a tray with a teapot and cups, and also fan the tea-drinkers with palm leaves. The woman had a string of bunting that she uses to usher her servants around, which they held between their teeth, causing occasional bleeding… just to complete the grotesque scene.
