Alladeen

The Builders Association and motiroti

ALLADEEN is a large-scale cross-media performance created by The Builders Association and the London-based company motiroti. ALLADEEN draws on the lives of citizens living in the hybrid, global cities of New York, London, and Bangalore—each a city where many cultures collide. Aladdins story is a perfect vehicle for this collision, since it has travelled from Asia to India to England to Disney, and each has stolen and reinterpreted it from the last.

This was mentioned in an article for one of my classes and I just had to check it out. Interesting and rather sad phenomenon, I'd say.
