What remains of the working class in late capitalism? Is it really easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism? “MINT: An Opera on Money” deals with the ambiguity, complexity and divisions caused by our relationship to money, social class and labour. Together with four performers and a music ensemble, dancer and choreographer Sheena McGrandles takes on the genre of opera and its formal conventions and overgrows it with the transformative potential of the popular traditions of Irish folk dance and song, personal biographies and anecdotes. “MINT” unfolds at the intersection of choreography, theatre, music and lived history - evoking the shame, guilt, pleasure and darkness connected to our individual and shared relationships to money and class. What lurks behind fortune or misfortune? And what would you really do for money?
