Description |
Whelping Box uses the concept of two fighting dogs as a humorous device to explore self-mythology, primal energy and power from a place of powerlessness. The ultimate question is to what degree does society nurture its own terrifying adversaries? The performance incorporates theatre, dance, installation and design to create a total theatre experience. |
