While trapped in the container, the passengers press themselves against the walls at every stop in hopes they may discover some minute shred of evidence as to where they may be or whether they will be given fresh food and water for the next leg of the journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/offtheshelfandonline.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-Container-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teaching-without-borders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-Container-3.png 940w, https:\/\/teaching-without-borders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-Container-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/teaching-without-borders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-Container-3-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/teaching-without-borders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/The-Container-3-624x352.png 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The costumes of each character were absolutely perfect for this production. Through their clothing, it was rather easy to distinguish details about each of the characters. The costume that stuck with me the most was that of the businessman because the creators were able to capture his relative wealth in his style of clothing but to maintain the elements of struggle brought about by their current travel and entrapment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All photos are the property of the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. <a href=\"https:\/\/www-digitaltheatreplus-com.proxy2.library.illinois.edu\/education\/collections\/digital-theatre\/the-container#production-gallery\">https:\/\/www-digitaltheatreplus-com.proxy2.library.illinois.edu\/education\/collections\/digital-theatre\/the-container#production-gallery<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyler Tubbs &#8220;The Container&#8221; takes place on a standard size shipping trailer moving across Europe towards England.
