A physical theater, dance and object manipulation performance
A person and cardboard box...a set in all simplicity, easy to transport and install. A show with few words but filled with sounds and onomatopoeia.
Little by little, simple surprises with a variety of qualities emerge from the box. Big, medium, small – standard, thin, and long – heavy, bouncy, and airy. The audience follows the character and her box on a journey of construction games, movement play and object animation.
The discovery of basic materials, which is the constant work and play of children, is magically transposed to the stage.
Mon carton is a show for all audiences including children from 6 months on, who are often still discovering the performance format.
Created in France, Mon Carton is now being performed for audiences in the New York metropolitan area and available to tour in the United States.
