Monopoly Man Pit
Work ID: 79971
Description: Ian Mozdzen and Doug Melnyk.
Winnipeg Fringe Festival, July, 2011.
Ian Mozdzen and Doug Melnyk devised this show together, developed from an idea by Ian. Doug contributed to certain ideas in Ian text, and costumes. Props and other visual materials were produced collaboratively, from found objects and craft materials, especially duct tape. Using the central image of the Monopoly board game, with audience participation, the work attempts to reveal the myriad effects of capitalism in our world, showcasing behaviours informed by racism, misogyny, homophobia and other aspects of well-established inequality.

Hollywood Hen Pit
Work ID: 79972
Description: Ian Mozdzen and Doug Melnyk.
Winnipeg Fringe Festival, July 2013
This devised show deals with the story of a Hollywood starlet and the extreme behaviours she feels forced to exhibit in her efforts to maintain her career. Her actions and stories, involving members of the audience directly, are intended to reveal a feverish anxiety related to dark themes of patriarchy and misogyny, manifested in realms of Hollywood, the fashion industry and the world of High Art.
