Object Theater

Object Theater is a theatrical technique that uses everyday objects—like furniture, clothing, or props—to represent characters or settings. Instead of actors performing directly on stage, performers manipulate these objects to tell a story visually and symbolically. This approach emphasizes physicality, creativity, and metaphor, allowing stories to unfold through the interaction and transformation of objects. It often reveals deeper themes by highlighting the significance of ordinary items, encouraging audiences to see familiar objects in new, meaningful ways. Object Theater blends visual art and performance to engage viewers through inventive storytelling.
