Join the box collective artists on this one night only event.

The box collective is an international company run by women that originated as an ensemble in New York. Consisting of artists who hunger to challenge the traditional theatre scene and engage their audience through a real experience, our work evokes visceral reactions beyond passive entertainment. From the beginning, the vision of the box was to create a company that would perform not only in New York, but take this approach to theatre around the world. In the past few years we've forged international relationships and collaborations throughout Europe and we continue to grow into new territories both artistically and geographically. This is theatre of immediacy, necessity and risk-taking.
