Filling out a form, Mido is confronted with a series of boxes to tick. Two familiar boxes emerge from the crowd and stand side by side. One says ‘Male’. The other says ‘Female’.

Beyond the Box is an intimate and inquisitive immersion into the nature of these boxes and what life is like living beyond them.

Developed through a series of facilitated workshops, producer Christina Hardinge invites friend Mido to explore their personal lived experience of being ‘put in a box’ by gender. By integrating the therapeutic tools of visualisation and guided imagery with interview, they imagine new ways of framing this conversation.

Between the Ears is a BBC Radio 3 recurring series of adventurous audio-works. In this particular series, five audio-makers from around the world were invited to choose a card from the tarot deck as a creative prompt for their idea. The card at the heart of Beyond the Box is the Death card.
