For all you romantics out there - this Valentine's Day, Mutiny presents Love on Trial - an evening of love songs, poems, photography, films, speed debating and performances. Love is in the air. Love is on the radio, advertised between television programmes telling us how to conduct our relationships, on chocolate bars, on posters for sweaty nightclubs. From Shakespeare to Celebrity Big Brother, love dominates our thoughts, our conversations and our desires. So what is this feeling called Love? The night will begin with the revolutionary premier of Speed Debating: get in pairs to discuss the issues of the day. There will be a mezzanine cinema showing short films, YouTube clips and presentations. The night will close with an hour of music including live performances and a music medley of the world's finest love songs. At the heart of the event beats a three-part discussion about love in 2010 bringing together activists, academics, authors and troublemakers. At the heart of the event beats a three-part discussion about love in 2010 bringing together activists, academics, authors and troublemakers. Beginning with ‘Love for Sale’, look at how romance and sex have been commercialised while celebrating resistances to appropriation. The second session will focus on ‘Love and Hate’, examining the ways some forms of love – LGBT, cross-cultural and polyamorous relationships – are marginalised and how people are challenging this. Finally, ‘Love thy Neighbour’ discusses the state's role in the type of love that’s valued- monogamy, marriage, the family- and what that means for society. Can we imagine a world where love is liberated and celebrated in all its forms?
