Here are the latest scenes from Pedro Reyes’ ongoing project, Baby Marx. Shot at the Walker in August, the episodes have just been released. In these scenes, the action takes a melodramatic turn as Karl Marx and Adam Smith have a falling out over the “green” movement and Smith’s penchant for consumerism. Hearts heavy, the two wander separately around the Walker, lamenting the breakup and meeting the likes of Che Guevara, Friederich Engels, Frederick Taylor, and John Maynard Keynes.
Check back tomorrow for scenes from the duo’s trip to Occupy Wall Street in New York.
