Bobby Baker/Daily Life Ltd (England) | Box Story 

 

"deeper, darker and finally more joyful than anything she has produced before"

 

Remembering Pandora, Bobby delves into a selection of boxes, unleashing the ills of the world and then attempting to conquer them with hope and unsettling humour. 

In 1991, Bobby Baker began her Daily Life series, a domestic quintet of performances, which have toured worldwide. Box Story is the crowning moment of the series. Created in collaboration with long term associate Polono Baloh Brown and with choral music especially composed by Jocylyn Pook, it is a delightful exploration of misfortune and accountability.
