A young woman sits alone in a hospital room. She looks like us; sounds like us, and her bittersweet journey of love and loss could have happened to any one of us.
A young woman sits alone in a hospital room. She looks like us; sounds like us, and her bittersweet journey of love and loss could have happened to any one of us.
Time folds in on itself and we are swept away through episodes of her story of extraordinary love, loss and sacrifice.
Wedged between the micro of day-to-day life, and the macro of the world around us, My Life in Boxes is a thought-provoking journey of who ultimately bears the consequences when these seemingly unrelated issues collide.
Rarely seen in Australia, this show seamlessly blends storytelling with acrobatics and physical theatre to draw us into a playful, humorous and personal world, revealing a story that is wake up call to the danger of being complacent.
