No. But can it create commentary on the absurdity of the situation? Hopefully. A duality-driven research-creation project, Elysium reinterprets Toronto’s rental housing crisis through the parodical-critical framework of Linda Hutcheon’s recontextualization of Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of Double-Voiced Discourse. Drawing from James C. Scott’s theory of Everyday Resistance, Elysium argues parody as an effective tactic of everyday resistance, challenging the systemic erasure of tenant experiences in the rental housing search.
