IDIOT

April 28 – May 21, 2016

A charismatic prince, a notorious woman, a spoiled socialite and a jealous rival square off in an electric quartet—and you’re invited to the party. In this hybrid response to Dostoevsky’s The Idiot, immersive staging and live cinematography launch you into the mind of a conflicted man in a tug-of-war between desire and compassion. In the face of a corrupt society, be there as he battles the depths and heights of human experience.
