Through Croquis Event Boxiganga Performance Teater wanted to examine the theatrical and visual process onstage. The company tested how the body, moving through different rooms, create different visual sculptures.

The performers wore costumes restricting the movement, or they were forced to interact with different objects to give the audience a sculptural, room-like expression to watch. Croquis Event was staged like a workshop, and the members of the audience were invited to bring equipment to draw, paint or photograph.

In the production program from BIT Teatergarasjen the following is written about Croquis Event:

"The meditative condition established in Croquis Event opens to reflect over aspects associated with the terms time and place. The audience is in this universe invited to bring what they need to draw or paint, and to use this during the performance."
