Buried Alive!

BURIED ALIVE! a matchbox theatre, is a frightfully funny exploration of our age-old fear of being buried alive, and the curious phenomenon of 19th Century “waiting mortuaries.”

Tiny and interactive, it is full of dreadful discoveries for a mature audience of 25-30. BURIED ALIVE! is based on historical and medical facts and urban myths. Performed on a tabletop, and 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.

The puppeteer embodies the tiny characters to magnify the action. BURIED ALIVE! is creatively anachronistic and plays with scale. For ages 12 and up.
