The Manikins: a work in progress, by Alumnus Jack Aldisert, is a piece of interactive theatre for two performers and you - its single audience member. Step into the office of Dr. Ligotti and experience a psychedelic thriller where dream and reality collide as you navigate the hidden agendas and supernatural techniques of the enigmatic staff. This is more than just reading or watching a story - this is truly entering it, being consumed by it. The line between the play and reality will bend and fade, and in the end it will all feel like a dream.

In this fast, fresh, and feminist adaptation of Aeschylus’s ancient trilogy of plays, Ellen McLaughlin invites us to question what justice looks like in action. In The Oresteia, each member of a family enacts a kind of violence intended to right a wrong. Instead, violence perpetuates violence and a cycle of harm makes each person “morally unrecognizable” even to themselves.

We are excited to feature Supriya Kalidas, senior art director of the New Yorker at this special Art Science Salon. 

As a part of weeklong series, University of Puget Sound alum Jack Aldisert '19 will be performing his immersive play The Manikins on campus from March 21 to 29 with current students as his collaborators. The Art and Science salon will invite Jack, the creator, and our actors and stage managers to talk about the creation of brain-bending immersive theatre, the "theatre of the weird," and how the show the Manikins uses the audience member's imagination as part of its mise-en-scene.
