ABOUT THE WORK
CHOREOGRAPHERS' NOTE: The Company is incentivized towards perpetual growth. The Company develops relationships with politicians and regulatory agencies, lobbying for legislative language that protects their constant growth. The Company language is parroted until fabrication becomes fact. The Company’s profit margins are built on theft: of natural resources, human labor, and life. You don’t make a billion dollars, you steal a billion dollars. The One to Stay With was created in response to Patrick Radden Keefe’s “Empire of Pain.” His book chronicles the Sackler family’s rise to power and their central role in the opioid crisis.
