Inspired by Life is a Dream, the Spanish Golden Age play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Where Is The Mind When The Body Is Here? is an exploration of isolation and confinement. By combining visual and audio art with the text itself, this "play for no actors" elevates the act of reading the piece by oneself into an inherently theatrical event. Open 10 am-5 pm, Friday and Saturday (closed 1-2 pm on Saturday).
