The Box? A Show of Feelings

Presented by Coad Canada Puppets

Country of Origin: North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Description:

In seven story-sequences the principal characters, a child and a dog, recreate in mime the eight emotions of Curiosity, Sadness, Frustration, Fear, Happiness, Anger, Loneliness, and Love. Each sequence is complete within itself yet the performance builds to a unified theatrical experience where each emotion is not just observed but is felt by the audience.

The Box? A Show of Feelings has entranced audiences in nearly twenty countries around the world and has won a UNIMA Citation of Excellence in the Art of Puppetry.
