The Art of War by Vicky Kyriakoulakou | Available until Sunday May 9, 2021 at 21:00 (UTC+3)

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles” – so said Sun Tzu.

Six (almost) ordinary office workers conduct their daily business with an iceberg above their heads. The work of Sun Tzu is their survival manual. Though written many centuries ago, it is treated as gospel in modern-day management circles.

How does a troop of executives survive on their own battlefield, where the financial system is a kind of offbeat zoo in which everyone has an animal nickname that reflects how they react to fluctuations in the markets? What changes in their lives when the iceberg starts to melt? What links revolutionary songs, operetta waltzes, Cretan Pyrrhic war dances, and the New Zealand haka to executives fantasizing about new working models? But deep down, do they really desire some unprecedented new reality?
