Press performance: Press are encouraged to attend opening weekend.
On the one night a year when the mannequins gather for a ball, one mannequin stumbles into the wrong place and is forced to impersonate an important political figure. The Mannequins’ Ball joins the absurdity of modern politics with the avant garde interest in human mechanization that characterized the experimental theatre of the inter-war years. Managing Director Nicole Wiesner and Resident Choreographer Miguel Long team up once more to tackle this ambitious and timely production.
