What makes a man?
about the production
Two Little Boxes is a highly physical, wordless, and often interactive piece of physical theatre, which knits together mime, dance, theatre, music and film. In a world where the only thing that speaks is the body, everyone will recognise something from the journey of A and J as a reflection of their own lives. It is a story of human social development, the insecurity of youth, the desire to fit in, the crisis of identity, the frustrations of relationships, and with all this: the construction of masculine identities.
about the artist
Formed in 2016 by students of the International Schools of Corporeal Mime and Lecoq in Paris, Reallynice is a dynamic and ambitious international touring physical theatre company. Reallynice has as its root aim the desire to facilitate intercultural communications through the performing arts through powerfully simple performances, whose main language is that of the body.
