Boxlife

This dark comedy combines puppetry and clown theatre into a non-verbal tale of companionship and grief. Join three naive yet mischievous characters as they battle against emptiness. Their shared imaginations create strange new worlds – filling the void with mail-order parcels, games, and unexpected magic. Come along on a charming journey of life, death, and cardboard boxes.Boxlife was created in December, 2022 as part of the Figura MA in Accademia Teatro Dimitri.
Since then, the show has travelled all over Europe and won the Grand Prix at the Puppetry Festival in Subotica, Serbia. Additionally, each of the three cast members of Boxlife was awarded the Best acting/animation award.Photo: Konstantin DemeterMore detailed info here:

Where is the beat?

“Where is the Beat?” is a tragicomic tale about modern society's effects on the individual, told through puppetry, music and humour. It tells the story of a person who wakes up one day to find that their body no longer responds as expected. In this bleak space, they try to remember what sparks their fundamental joy, and connects their body and soul. Join the protagonist on a journey of self-discovery, social critique, and jazz.Previously played at:2026 Kavč festival (Ljubljana, Slovenia)

"MATILDA FATUR impressed the audience with her acting skills, presenting her solo performance from Accademia Dimitri (Switzerland). All the means of expression are electronic piano, double bass, mask, wonderful voice, plastic and unsurpassed charisma of the actress. WHERE IS THE BEAT? is a simple story of human existence in society, which the actress masterfully presents to the audience in the genre of stand-up." - Mikhail Urytskyi
