Dizê-lo seria demasiado fácil

Material:
- a white shoebox
- a drumstick
Handling of objects:
with one hand you hold the box as shown, with the top facing up and with the other hand you hold the drumstick.
The audience is already in the room. The performer starts playing with the stick in the snare at a speed of ± 33 bpm outside. He enters the room always beating at the same rhythm and faces the audience. Continue the action until the box starts to break, try to keep the rhythm and then accelerate and continue that tear.
Then stop, remove the lid and let it fall to the ground. Turn the snare upside down and start beating with the same initial rhythm about 6 times and leave, continuing down the hall until the sound becomes inaudible.
