unboxing breaks up the frontal concert situation. Four performers mark the corners of a container, the audience fills its surface and describes it by a rotation around itself in four steps. In an introduction and four "confessions", different containers are presented and in doing so, speaking and language, text and noise, voice and subjectivity are placed in relation to each other in ever-changing ways.
