Disenchanted: The Misfortune Teller

Roll up, roll up, to see your least favourite seaside arcade machine. Insert your bottle top to receive your mystical misfortune - but don't stay too long in the clasps of the corporate chain or you may find yourself bound to it. Disenchanted is just a working class mermaid with dreams of saving the oceans and conserving our natural habitats, but first she must bind herself to the grizzly world of small town customer service to earn her way. Vacancies at the arcade are available: minimum wage, experience required, fast-paced environment. Sign up now. It won't cost much, just your voice...

An interactive performance installation exploring the effects of the capitalist industry on minimum wage workers and natural environments.

 Performed at the RCS (Glasgow, 2016) 

 Performed at Queer Theory, Nice 'N' Sleazy's (Glasgow, 2016)
