The Treatment

In this adaptation of Chekhov’s story, Ward 6 asks the question: Who draws the line between sanity and insanity? In this new work of visceral, movement-based storytelling, a complacent doctor's world view is upended when he befriends a philosophizing madman in a remote and neglected metal hospital. Chekhov’s investigation of people in positions of power and those they hold captive ignites with intense physicality fused with ironic humor, dance and song.
