Peepshow is a different theater experience that must be experienced. We take 3 audience members at a time. You sit on a chair, put on headphones and put your eye close to the box and look into each of your peepholes.to sense in order to see. 6 tantalizing minutes in our specially made scene.
Peepshow freely relates to well-known myths andimages related to the theme: love and eroticism. The play depic with poetry and humor a love relationship, where the characters leave the innocent play of childhood and encounter the many trials of love and sexuality in life. You might blush a little but first and foremost have a good laugh.

The outside and inside of the box:
This form of peep box theater consists of aluminous box, where the shape can be associated with a woman's body.3 windows are placed in the chest area of the box. 3 people sitclose together on stools, with a black blanket over their heads toblock out the light. The blanket over their heads is also intended topique the curiosity of people observing the event from the outside.And what happens outside the box is an interesting event in itself.Peepshow can be experienced as 2 performances in 1 performance: Whathappens inside the box and what happens outside: A very curiousaudience who wonders what is happening in the peep box. So, Peepshow appeals to the imagination and creates an incredibly good and funatmosphere on a large scale.
Peepshow has 1 player, who beforethe show, mingles with the people, wearing an attractive costume andwith a flirtatious smile, inviting people to take a seat in front ofthe windows.
When the audience is seated, the player pulls intothe box and prepares the 6-minute show. Small curtains open and theplayer makes eye contact with the viewers while she mimes the wordsthat come on the voice over. The actor slides over to puppetry:Puppets that are built on the fingers of the player with latex andfishnet stockings.
The show is in progress and the audience experiences live puppets that play interactively with film.
The monitor screen works as a stage floor and the puppets communicate with the film that lies horizontally.

Thestage is mobile, can be played everywhere, only requires a poweroutlet.
We play outdoors, indoors for private parties, pubs, festivals, etc. Peepshow is sound proofed so that other events can take place at the same time without disturbing the audience from one party or the other.
