‘It is fascinating to see how with the right skills, companies can
tap right into people's lives and capture tiny moments of emotion. There is
no distance in this kind of work and no safety nets. Ragroof Theatre's ‘The
Button Museum’ is exactly what it says it is – an installation that
displays an array of buttons donated by members of the public. But in this case,
every button tells a story. You choose a numbered button, locate the related
envelope and find out who donated it and perhaps the story behind it. If you
want to, you can give your own button or choose one from a selection to add
to the museum. Again, it is a very simple idea beautifully executed. Company
members wear 1940s clothes and an actor types up the newly donated stories on
an old manual typewriter.’
