Synopsis Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim ASSES.MASSES ACCESSIBILITY asses.masses is a collective game in which anyone who wants can play. The duration of the show depends on the choices made by the audience throughout the game. There will be four intervals with food and drink. The show contains strobe lights, themes such as mental health, suicide, police brutality and sexual representations. asses.masses is a video game designed to be played on stage and live by the audience in a theatre, one person at a time. It tells the epic story of a group of unemployed donkeys (asses) trying to get their jobs back while facing the dangers of a post-industrial society from which they were dismissed. As an experience, asses.masses is a collaborative journey that the audience takes, in which the video game is played from start to finish in a single session over about 8 hours, 10 episodes and 4 intervals (with food and drink). It was designed so that, while the one elected leader takes over the means of production (the controller), the rest of the audience watches the story unfold, encourages the player, makes suggestions and helps make decisions. Bold, political and a mix of Animal Farm with Pokémon and Final Fantasy, asses.masses hands control to the audience and invites it to discover the space between the work that defines us and the play that frees us. Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim are conceptual artists who explore questions about the social value of art, digital labour and the political potential of games. With training in performance, philosophy, psychology and digital media, the duo develops collaborations that take the form of video games, participatory installations, digital archives and card games. They are also co-founders of the Canadian national archive of performance video (videocan) and creators of several projects that have toured Canada, Germany, Argentina, Mexico, Italy, Turkey, the UK and the USA. Upcoming projects include dam.nation, about the true story of twenty Canadian beavers acquired by the Argentine government in 1946, and DRAGONS, a show for young audiences about power, hierarchy and teenage dragons. After passing through Teatro Municipal do Porto in 2025, they now premiere at TBA.

Show original (Portuguese)

Sinopse Patrick Blenkarn e Milton Lim ASSES.MASSES ACESSIBILIDADE asses.masses é um jogo coletivo, no qual quem quiser pode jogar. A duração do espetáculo depende das escolhas feitas pelo público ao longo do jogo. Haverá quatro intervalos, com comida e bebida. O espetáculo contém luzes estroboscópicas, temas como saúde mental, suicídio, brutalidade policial e representações sexuais. asses.masses é um videojogo concebido para ser jogado em palco e ao vivo pelo público num teatro, uma pessoa de cada vez. Conta a história épica de um conjunto de burros desempregados (asses) que tentam recuperar os seus empregos, enquanto enfrentam os perigos de uma sociedade pós-industrial da qual foram dispensados. Como experiência, asses.masses é uma viagem colaborativa que o público faz, na qual o videojogo é jogado do início ao fim numa única sessão ao longo de cerca de 8 horas, 10 episódios e 4 intervalos (com comida e bebida). Foi concebido para que, enquanto aquela que foi eleita líder se apodera dos meios de produção (o comando), as restantes pessoas do público assistam ao desenrolar da história, incentivem quem joga, façam sugestões e ajudem a tomar decisões. Atrevido, político e uma mistura de A Quinta dos Animais com Pokémon com Final Fantasy, asses.masses entrega o controlo ao público e convida-o a descobrir o espaço entre o trabalho que nos define e o jogo que nos liberta. Patrick Blenkarn e Milton Lim são artistas conceptuais que exploram questões sobre o valor social da arte, o trabalho digital e o potencial político dos jogos. Com formação em performance, filosofia, psicologia e media digital, a dupla desenvolve colaborações que tomam a forma de videojogos, instalações participativas, arquivos digitais e jogos de cartas. São também cofundadores do arquivo nacional canadiano de vídeo de performance (videocan) e criadores de vários projetos que já passaram pelo Canadá, Alemanha, Argentina, México, Itália, Turquia, Reino Unido e EUA. Os próximos projetos incluem dam.nation, sobre a história real de vinte castores canadianos adquiridos pelo governo argentino em 1946, e DRAGONS, um espetáculo para jovens públicos sobre poder, hierarquia e dragões adolescentes. Depois de passarem pelo Teatro Municipal do Porto em 2025, estreiam-se agora no TBA.
