GET CAUGHT IN THIS TRAP DOOR

In the absence of humans, the stage has gained the ability to put on mechanized performances to please only itself. Using text from the works of  Charles Mee,  Gertrude Stein, and  Matei Vişniec  (with translations by. Adam J. Sorkin and Lidia Vianu), in a series of theatrical dares, the actors of  Trap  Door  Theatre  will attempt to retake the stage, confronting notions of live performance, automation, and the cycles we perpetuate.
