The Price is Right (De-Valued)
The Price is Right (De-Valued) is a full-length interactive performance that reflects and explores the concept of devaluation and self-value in relation to labor, economics, and social justice. This work introduces the format of the famous TV show "The Price is Right" into an interactive experience where the audience will support four performers participating in a competition to determine the right price for various items. Scanning a QR code with their smartphones, the audience will connect to an online poll system where they will select the price or vote on the value of the items displayed. The participant who earns the most points will take home a surprising award!
Ultimately, this work offers a critical view on an issue affecting our systems of value in all aspects of life, including democracy, human labor, social stability, and health and wellness.
