Handle with care

16.10.25 — 18.10.25

No actors, no technicians. Just a box. And you. Theatre stripped to its essence. A box is sent to the theatre. The instructions are clear.

Bring together a group of people on a certain day, at a certain time. Let the audience take their seats. Put the box in the middle of the stage. The audience waits. Then someone in the audience gets up and opens the box. The play begins.

Spend an hour experiencing something unique, a one-off, unrepeatable. Here. Now. Together. No one else is watching. What happens among you, stays among you. Take good care of it. And send us a postcard.
