Synopsis: | Buried Alive! a matchbox theatre is a frightfully funny exploration of our fear of being buried alive, of dreadful discoveries and of the curious phenomenon of 19th Century "waiting mortuaries." Based on historical and medical facts. Tiny, intimate and interactive for an adult audience. Audience is limited to 25 people per performance. Buried Alive! is performed on a tabletop and is constructed entirely in and of matchboxes. It takes advantage of the unique qualities of these tiny stages. Images and characters slide out, slide through, pop up, and drop out of the matchboxes. A merry eccentric matron is your guide. | |||||

Synopsis: | Take equal parts of dance, theater and circus clown, add Native American mask work, flavor with a pinch of bouffon, a touch of true mischief, and a nod to Harold and the Purple Crayon, and you get this delightful look at greed and acquisition. Mud, a comic sprite, seeks the perfect picnic spot. Finding it, she gleefully proclaims it 'MINE' and marks it with chalk, trapping herself inside its boundaries. Magic spells expand her territory; new acquisitions awaken a lust for even more. . ..Expansionism and colonialism, greed and exploitation, all from a clown whose entire vocabulary consists of just four words: you, mine, nice, want | |||||
