Welcome to the office of Dr. Ligotti. You are his patient, in therapy for your vivid nightmares. ... Or are you the participant in an experimental immersive experience? ... The Manikins: a work in progress is NOT a work in progress. It is a ninety-minute performance by two actors for you, its single audience member and protagonist. It is a labyrinthine conspiracy, a cold war between dream and reality, a constantly transforming psychedelic world that slips like sand between your fingers. Seize it while you can.
