SENSORYBOX

AN AT-HOME DIGITAL SENSORY EXPERIENCE FOR SELF-ISOLATION

“It doesn't matter what's in the box; it only matters that there's a box and there's a mystery.” -JJ Abrams

A wrapped gift is delivered to the door, the mystery of its contents intrigues until show time. SensoryBox offers a communal unboxing adventure to audiences across the digital divide through to the tips of their fingers.

Explore the electric connection between our senses and the imagination. Blindfolded, and alongside the guiding voice of performer Mike Tan, audiences uncover the mysterious contents of their box and rediscover the importance of play. SensoryBox is an individual sensory experience meant to connect socially-isolated audiences in an era when small joys have taken on greater meaning and we are universally questioning the simple things we take for granted.

Length: 75 minutes, no intermission | Generally available

May be presented as a digital performance for home audiences and/or live to a socially-distanced audience in theatre
