Trap Door Theatre will present LE BAL as the final production of its 32nd season, running May 14 through June 20 at its Chicago venue. The production, directed and devised by Stephen Buescher, is inspired by Ettore Scola’s film and will be performed at Trap Door Theatre, 1655 W. Cortland Street.

The work is a dialogue-free, movement-based piece that traces political and personal change through dance, music, and fashion, spanning the 1920s to the present. The production will use a continuous musical score and physical storytelling to depict shifts in both individual lives and broader global history.

The cast will include Dan Cobbler, Genevieve Corkery, Cat Evans, Emily Nichelson, Gus Thomas, Jasz Ward, and Carl Wisniewski.
