There never was a box

There Never Was a Box is an eco-feminist, non-dualistic performance about the costs and meanings of living up to the high standards of masculinity and patriarchy. It is a king who is growing old and is told by the gods that he will soon die. It is a deal made by the gods, who promise him that if he sacrifices one of his sons every few years, he will be allowed to live. It is a choice that is quickly made and a dismayed prince who desperately pleads for the value of his existence. It is a jester who whistles, asks questions and speaks of the future.

It is a play in which the players and the audience do not always see what is fiction and what is real. It is an empire on the verge of collapse and a court desperately trying to hold it together, but what if some things are better off breaking, dying, cracking; what if it is time, long ago?
