Hedge Knights
August Mohr has made it: the strategy is chosen, the investors are on board. On the 47th storey of the biggest bank in the world he starts his hedge fund and begins chasing after the big buck.
Over a period of 10 years «Hedge Knights» portrays the financial market system and the pursuit of profit. Deals are made, investment strategies are tested and clients are betrayed.
While August Mohr establishes his imperium the next big financial idea is coming up in the system. While the bank is organising the stock market launch for a client firm, it outsources credit default swaps somewhere else. While August’s wife Clara is trying to save her pharmaceutical firm, young investment banker Denise gets a hint of it. While August Mohr is making the deal of his life, someone cleans the windows outside.
And while all three of them are squandering their securities in a vortex of risk and profit suddenly financial supervision knocks on their door and the world economy is moving into crisis.
machina eX, the pioneers of theatrical computer games in lifelike graphic design, are back with us after their exciting staging of «Happy Hour» last autumn at Stall 6 and in the north wing.
