About the Show
A man opens a shoebox and finds an unexpected companion.
As curiosity turns into affection, confusion and fear, the boundaries between himself and the box begin to blur.
With just his body and a simple object, Ariel Doron sends puppetry, mime, slapstick and psychological thriller tumbling into one another.
Funny, tender and a little scary, Boxed is a wordless adventure about a lonely man trying to connect with himself and the world—with plenty left to the audience’s imagination.
