The "magnetic, electrifying and utterly beautiful."
Pandora 88 is on its way to the Arc Theatre, Trowbridge next month.

Pandora 88 is a two man show, which rests in the expert hands (or bodies) of Wolfgang Hoffman and Sven Till and centres on a world within a perspex box. A tiny box, 1.5 metres square, with the two men literally plonked inside and left to get on with it.

It's an extraordinarily inventive piece of theatre, that uses Brian Keenan's unsettling biography of his incarceration at the hands of Beirut terrorists as its launching point.

Despite being an unlikely launching point, with one of Europe’s leading companies Fabrik at the helm, it has already received rave reviews.

Wolfgang Hoffman and Sven Till in Pandora 88

Trapped in a world, the size of a small lift, the tetchy duo are forced to co-exist the best they can.

Restricted and on top of each other, literally, they begin to feel out the spatial limits of their prison and with grim humour the limits of themselves.

As they climb the walls, the roof and each other little is said but all is revealed with an intense, claustrophobic clarity.

Through fury, despair, playfulness, aggression, listlessness, hallucination and bouts of insanity the two begin to find ways to come to terms with their confinement and the unnatural intimacy forced upon them.

Part dance, part theatre and with an incredible lighting design thrown in Pandora 88 promises a hauntingly memorable and stunningly beautiful performance.

Definitely worth a look...
