Curio Theatre is a one-night, interdisciplinary event that transforms a vintage cigarette machine into a site of intimate, multi-sensory storytelling. This project centers on ephemeral exchange: audience members will purchase an original artwork from a reimagined vending machine, then attend a live performance created in direct response to that object. Audience members will select and receive an object from the machine before being guided to the corresponding performance experience.
