About this Event
Staged across a sprawling set that mimics a deconstructed home, Paradise Container tells the story of a family shaped by addiction and financial enmeshment with a storage solutions company that contracts each of its members. Conceived and written by Monica Mirabile and Mara Mckevitt, the newly commissioned performance takes place within the Main Hall of Pioneer Works—reimagined here as a cross between a soundstage and an American fulfillment warehouse.
Paradise Container guides the audience from room to room through light, sound and performance cues. Each room comprises charged domestic scenes which map onto the boundaries between the personal, domestic and professional environments that define daily life. In this universe, an eroding nuclear family must meet the demands of a modern yet feudal work arrangement, navigate the oscillatory effects of a pharmaceutical drug called Shift, and learn how to live with, and love each other. An intimate, performance-theater experience intended for only eighty audience members at a time, Paradise Container crafts a narrative meant to chafe at ideas of stability and disillusion, sickness and health, and the myth of work-life balance.
