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.
