One Trunk Theatre debuts its pop up theatre this winter. Designed by 5468796 Architecture and built by Chris Pancoe and Shaun de Rooy, this 32 square feet space will be home to free concerts, photography shoots, live performance and visual art installations. The space will be open to the public as a warming hut throughout these three weeks.
The Dollhouse of Commons will become home to One Trunk Theatre's theatrical experiments and touring. Built on a bike trailer, this space (with one side that opens completely) allows for a new performer/audience relationship.
