This winter, Trap Door Theatre will collaborate with eight directors to create a series of episodes adapted from Matei Visniec’s Decomposed Theatre Or The Human Trashcan. From December to February, a unique adaptation from Visniec’s “dialogic spectacle of monologues” will be performed live on Zoom between the resident Chicago ensemble and an international group of guest performers and directors.
Each episode is its own performance, and they do not all need to be viewed to enjoy the performances.
