“Mon Carton / My Cardboard Box” Performance for audiences of all ages

A cardboard box to explore? And why not dive in head first? The suspense and mystery of a featureless box provide the entry into a world of discovery, imagination and metamorphoses.

Out of the box, we discover different objects, sounds, and onomatopoeia. The performer engages the audience in a journey of construction, play, contemplation and surprise as she employs ordinary items to evoke landscapes, animals, vehicles, and more. Materials are restructured and reframed. The transformative use of ordinary materials, which is the constant creative work of children and a continuing delight for adults, is evocatively brought to the stage.

A non-verbal show for audiences of all ages, using physical theater, object manipulation, and magic, Mon Carton is fully accessible to deaf and hard of hearing audiences, The performance was created to connect with children from 6 months on who are just discovering the performance format, but speaks to older children and adults through visual surprises and poetic metaphors.
