This is the New York Premiere of Chekhov Lizardbrain, a surreal comedy loosely inspired by Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters and the "Three Brain" theory of Paul D. MacLean.
Chekhov Lizardbrain dives into the center of an autistic mind. In twists and turns that take us from neuroscience to a domestic squabble to the circus ring, Chekhov Lizardbrain captures a mind as it zigzags back and forth over troubling memories, attempting to mold them into neat Russian dramas. Dmitri, our protagonist, replays his memories until they are ornamented and decorated into a comforting fiction; what we witness is a kind of mental circus.
