Double Double Land Land

A two-part project including a play and exhibition, co-presented by Gallery TPW and The Theatre Centre, Toronto (2009). In the play, Double Double Land is a shitty place. The Mayor invites Tuba City, a successful urban planner from Tuba City, to make it better. But the citizens of Double Double Land realize that to make things better you have to make them worse. A loud wedding party next door interrupts and ruins the play. Essay by Alex Snukal (pdf).
