Written by

Trap Door Theatre is thrilled to continue its 31st season with a production of the renowned play, The Mannequins' Ball. Written by Bruno Jasieński, The Mannequins' Ball will be directed by Resident Choreographer Miguel Long, and Managing Director Nicole Wiesner. The Mannequins' Ball will play January 23 – March 1, 2025 at Trap Door Theatre, 1655 W Cortland St. in Chicago. Tickets are now on sale at trapdoortheatre.com or by calling (773)-384-0494. 

On the one night a year when Mannequins can come alive and gather for a ball, one of them sneaks into the world of humans, becoming witness to a world of political intrigue, scandals and corruption. Jasieński's pivotal piece The Mannequins' Ball joins the absurdity of modern politics with the concept of human mechanization. Managing Director Nicole Wiesner and Resident Choreographer Miguel Long team up once more to tackle this powerful production.
