Money Moves : 超时工作

Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts

A roving performance considers the toll of wage theft on the body.

ACSA Dorset Park Hub

Created by artist En Lai Mah, MoneyMoves: 超时工作 makes visible what is too often unnoticed: the labour of immigrant workers who put food on our tables. Mah collaborated with elder grocery store workers to create a performance that is inspired by their work.The resulting performance tells the story of one worker in particular, 56-year old Mr. Bao, who is fighting for compensation after being injured on the job. Subverting the repetitive routines of grueling work, the performance draws on movement and martial arts to resist feelings of immobility in the body.Filmed in grocery stores across the city, the performance calls grocery workers to find the physical and emotional strength required to stand up to their bosses.Commissioned by Toronto’s Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts and presented in collaboration with the Chinese Workers Network and the Chinese Canadian National Council - Toronto Chapter.
