Chekhov Lizardbrain is a play that dives into the center of an autistic mind. In twists and turns that take us from neuroscience to a domestic squabble to the circus ring. It captures the state of a mind shaped like a Mobius-strip, as it zigzags back and forth over troubling memories in an attempt to mold them into neat Russian dramas. Dmitri, the protagonist, replays his memories until they are ornamented and decorated into a comforting fiction. Chekhov Lizardbrain is part laboratory, and part vaudeville theater, and the performance careens between trancelike dances, perception experiments, and full-throttle hilarity. |
