Greenhouse (September 18th)
September 18 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Long ago, in a provincial town outside of Rio de Janeiro, an elite doctor opens Brazil’s first ever insane asylum.
The doctor, desperate to pursue Science in a world governed by corrupt priests and old-school plutocrats, stretches his definition of madness—until, suddenly, almost the entire town is trapped in his madhouse. This building, seen either as a bastion of scientific progress or as a prison, was known as the Casa Verde, or “Green House.”
Greenhouse is an interactive theater adaptation of Machado de Assis’s celebrated novella “O Alienista.” It asks: as public institutions crumble, who can you trust, if anyone? As the figureheads of scientific progress, religion, old-school politics, and leftist revolution all battle for influence, audience members must make their own decisions—voting, chanting, and perhaps even rebelling—to determine which individuals should be in power next.
Join us for Off The Lane’s next immersive ColLab production, devised by The Elif Collective & co-produced with Pop Up! Productions on September 17th-20th at 7pm ET.
