The box

Cie La Salamandre |

Share this show

An intimate and silent performance created for the flowing and unpredictable nature of the street, using a puppet and an actor to tell a simple story about freedom.

The man stands firmly. The box seems to be waiting there. Their eyes meet, he rolls, he jumps , he crawls. Eventually they are face to face, and he listens carefully.

What’s inside? He must know. He opens the lid slowly, so slowly…

This small bubble of poetry has met an even success all around the world since 2012: Kabul (Afghanistan), Linz (Austria), Udine (Italia), Villach (Austria), Namur (Belgium), Graus (Spain), Charleville-Mézières, Miramont de Guyenne,Istres, Mirepoix, Nantes, Hagetmau, Brétignolles s/mer, Granville, St Aignan de Grandlieu (France)…
