Forbidden Fruit celebrates feminine curiosity and challenges the notion of original sin by inviting audiences to step inside a mystery container and choose how they will engage. Designed for small groups of participants, Forbidden Fruit mingles the myth of Pandora with the tale of Alice in Wonderland, and allows audiences into 8 installation rooms, each dedicated to a fruit/fungus/grain. Upon leaving, the price of learning the secrets of each room is paid as the chaos of the world is unleashed.
