The suspense and mystery of a simple, featureless box provides the entry for the audience into a world of discovery and imagination. Bit by bit, little by little, surprises emerge from the box.
The performer engages the audience in a journey of construction, movement play and transformation as she employs ordinary items (cardboard, paper, and balls), to evoke landscapes, animals, vehicles, and more. Simple materials are restructured and reframed, demonstrating the imagination's power for metamorphosis.
In Mon Carton the discovery and 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.
