The MOTION
BY CHRISTOPHER CHEN
DIRECTED BY PATRICK DOOLEY
What does it mean to be human?
Welcome to Intelligence Cubed, a heated debate on animal testing that slips down a kaleidoscopic rabbit hole where the audience is not only voyeur, but accomplice.
Equipped with voting cards, you’ll be invited to take part in the experience as it happens on stage. With clever comedy, sharp dialogue, and surreal bursts of science fiction, The Motion creates a fractal pattern of moral dilemmas.
In this world premiere from Obie Award–winner Christopher Chen, the line between performance and participation is blurred, and the fate of two lovers hangs in the balance.
