This performance is a group game, in which everyone can play if they want to. Its duration is variable, depending entirely on the audience's choices throughout the game. There will be four intermissions: food and drinks will be served during each one. asses.masses addresses sensitive content, including topics related to mental health, suicide, police violence, simulated sexual acts and the use of inappropriate language.

asses.masses is a custom video game designed to be played from beginning to end by a live audience, one person at a time. It’s a 7+ hour epic story of a herd of unemployed donkeys trying to get their jobs back, all while navigating the perils of a post-Industrial society in which they’ve been made redundant. Cheeky, political, and best described as Animal Farm meets Pokémon meets Final Fantasy, asses.masses puts the control(ler) in its audience’s hands and asks them to discover the space between the work that defines us and the play that frees us.
