Three different versions of dialogue by three different playwrights are presented via headphones so members experience the play differently. Theatre Replacement's Bioboxes create one-on-one experiences where a single actor sits in a chair across from a single audience member, knees touching, a box over their heads. The actors, all new immigrants, tell their stories in 10 min mini-plays in the über-intimate setting, literally bringing the audience into their world. These innovative presentations make me as a writer more inspired and humbled regarding my own style of storytelling. They are also excellent examples of the concept of 'The medium is the message.' I would love to watch or be part of a new and innovative way to bring theatre to life in Winnipeg.Primrose Madayag Knazannoreply@blogger.com
