The Cubic Man has received the keys of his new home and, suitcase in hand, he is ready to get settled in his new place. Just as he opens the door he realises of the dimensions of the place where he is going to live from now on: a room slightly bigger than a cubic meter. He is not surprised, quite the opposite he accepts his new situation, so unfortunately common nowdays, and he is ready to get on with his ordinary life; just like any of us… But this turns to be impossible: ordinary tasks like putting one single piece of furniture, making a phone call, organising a small party, watching TV, doing the housework or simply trying to get some sleep at night are not easy tasks for our Cubic Man in such a place. It will be even more difficult for him to deal with the unexpected domestic events which, being mere anecdotes for us, will become challenges of truly epic dimensions for the Cubic Man. 

The Surrealism principles and the Theatre of the Absurd of creators

like Magritte, Ionesco or Becket have inspired the aesthetics and

content of m3. The show introduces the audience into a kafkian and

claustrophobic atmosphere that, precisely due its absurd and

surprising situations, will make the audience laugh. Opposite to this

retro appearance, the plot, the topics, the icons, the images and

the rest of elements used in m3 are totally up-to-date. Houses

reduced to their minimum expression, poor quality construction

materials, chain production, the mass consumption of products as

faulty as the houses they are designed for, the human loneliness and

the people barriers to socialise, the different types of violence that

everyday are thrown to us by TV and the media -that makes human

beings frightened and docile, are all current issues that concern

people and make them feel identified with. All this makes m3 a show

with a strong and contemporary aesthetics.
