Originally created as a film, this piece looks at the gap between the ideals of Russia and America and the harsh reality seen in both cultures. 

​

The Sewers from East and West carry the same shit; richesse and pauperism meet down the lawless drain to bring the world to annihilation. 'Moneybags' concentrates on how different and competing factions of society, especially those with most power, end up marred by the same hierarchy, abuse of power and lack of empathy. Walls are built by the many to protect the few. We bring to life the American Dream versus the rise of the Oligarch through the use of dance, theatre and lighting.
