BIG BOX & small orchestra

On stage there is a big box: like a huge package, a phone booth, a work shop, an elevator, a spaceship…?  There are street lights growing out of the box. A tiny conductor slides across the stage and gives the beat. A couple is dancing. A dog’s leash takes the hat off the head. The box turns over and decides to be a table…

What kind of powers are these that are putting things in motion?
Let’s follow the stories that are being moved by the objects!

Between manipulation and autonomy everything on stage starts to play with each other: the light, the music, the people and the objects. It’s the power of imagination that a box can be much more than just a box…
