Monopoly

Invited by EuroPolis event, in 2012, that is a project run by an international team, funded by the EU Framework Programmer and by a network of European foundations. Grupo Oito created to this event “Monopoly” performance. Monopoly means an exclusive possession or control, based on “Monopoly game” published by Parker Brothers. Grupo Oito propose to use the board game as a frontier between countries and visualized a fragile union between them. The game is named after the economic concept of monopoly, the domination of a market by a single entity. The performance uses the objects as symbol of power and inclusion, where even been inside some of them keep the control. This game is an innovative instrument for bridging the often-lamented gap between national and European views in EU democracy as a global game.
