Nine to Five Box is a theatrical dance project, it is inspired by the daily formal routine for formal and non-formal jobs with the limitation and struggle it creates that leads to a ‘’loop/routine''.

The Manipulator
People have been stuck into the nine-to-five routine for decades without being aware of the fatal outcomes of it.
The obstacle here is not the nine-to-five itself, but how everyone believes that they will fail or die from hunger if they don't stick to it.
This performance takes a place with six dancers/performers, performing a reflection of how we want to escape from our routine and reality but we are pulled back to it without realizing.
