“In 1983, a group of American artists met in a sports court to play You the Better, a game invented by Ericka Beckman. The game was a distilled version of all-americana games, a mix between softball, basketball, bowling, arcade video games and casino gambling. In this Rollerball-like scenario, with colorful props and boyish work uniforms, a team led by the artist Ashley Bickerton struggles to win against an almighty oppressive “House”, which stands to remind you of the futility of individual effort against the corporate world. In this “allegory of suburban conformity versus free will”, the players are cheered by repetitive a cappella slogans that keep their spirits high, but as the game evolves they find themselves trapped in the surreal plot of a relentless game.” — Oportolisboa.blogspot.pt
