Monsterball is a large-scale participatory performance that brings together intergenerational audiences around the collective experience of sport. By giving community members the chance to play an accessible version of baseball against a team of friendly monsters, the project creates a humorous and inviting context in which friends, families and neighbors can struggle and triumph together.
