In Take Shape, BKBX explores ten stories of emergence and transformation.  What does it look like for a relationship to outgrow its shell like a hermit crab?  How does an astronaut move after years of being alone? How long does it take, after an eviction, for a home to become an empty room? The collection of stories includes apocalyptic farce, high-stakes heist, metaphorical image collage, and grounded naturalistic drama. In each narrative piece, the modern mimes of BKBX illustrate how the shapes of our worlds, bodies, and ideas can shift and reshift around and within us.  

Join us for BKBX’s first Mainstage show in three years, devised by our cast and accompanied live by resident music collaborator Jack McGuire. Rich fields of light and a textured soundtrack will bring these nonverbal stories to life, reminding us all of the power of live storytelling.
