The Legend - The Generact Trilogy Part 1

"Nothing short of Spellbinding!" ★★★★★

Acclaimed experimental theatre company Box House Theatre announces the debut of The Generact Trilogy Part 1 – "The Legend", an unflinching exploration of performance , surveillance, and the psychological burden of performance.

In a dystopian world where humans are void of choice and occupations are assigned at birth. We observe a group of Synthents who have been bred for one sole purpose: to entertain.

Under The Generact Programme, our Synthents are the vessel for the retelling of Legends and Tales, imposed to perform under the unrelenting gaze of observers, critics and opportunists. Our group journey’s through the miseries and rapture of life as an artist and how an audience fuel the unyielding compulsion for performance. As they navigate the ecstasy and misery of their imposed vocation, the line between actor and character begins to blur. Who is watching, and why? And what happens when the story refuses to end?

Part 1 of The Generact Trilogy: “The Legend” (formerly Twisted Tales) is a "visually stunning" Platform Theatre piece created by Box House Theatre Company. A cast of six actors are confined within the parameters of a Platform with nothing but the physical arsenal of body and voice to bring four legends which all end with a twist to life.

Stripped-down, high-impact theatre seen on stages all over the globe — this is dystopia reimagined that echoes the dark brilliance for fans of 1984, The Hunger Games, and Black Mirror.
