Part video game, part political satire, asses.masses is an interactive theater experience where the audience takes control—literally. Created by Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim, two of Canada’s most daring performance makers, this wild and witty production follows a herd of unemployed donkeys trying to get their jobs back. Will the donkeys succeed? The choice is yours. Blending live performance with contemporary and retro gaming aesthetics, this playful yet sharp examination of power, resistance and revolution unfolds over an unforgettable 8-hour communal adventure, complete with food and drink. asses.masses invites you to discover the space between the work that defines us and the play that frees us.
Participation and active spectatorship is a central part of asses.masses. We invite you to be part of our Herd in any way you can. Food will be served throughout the experience, offered during each intermission. Drinks will be available for purchase. Intermissions occur every two episodes, approximately every 90 minutes.
