How to get there
GPO Box No.211
GPO Box No.211 is a language-free interdisciplinary performance combining object theatre, robotics, and new materialism. The audience is invited to wander through the space. The work is inspired by an exchange of letters with our friend Siu Ming (a pseudonym), who was incarcerated as a political prisoner for three years following the 2019 pro-democracy protests.
GPO Box No.211 was the address used for sending these letters. The performance invites audiences on a journey of visual reflection on themes of freedom of expression, isolation, and communication through the lens of object theatre.
Winner of the ZKB Acknowledgement Prize at Zürcher Theater Spektakel 2024.
*The August 15th / 1:00PM & August 16th / 11:00AM performances of GPO Box No.211 will be followed by a brief post-show Q&A.
