The Manikins: a work in progress
90 minutes, two actors, and you. A mind-bending solo immersive experience.
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.
Audience Role
Fully interactive. You are the protagonist of this story. You will not be asked to "act", to play a character, but you will be asked to suspend your disbelief and engage with the characters as if you were in an everyday situation. This is mostly conversational.
