“A Cheerful Dystopia.” Developed over the course a year with members of The Cherry’s company of artists, What Happens Next is a brand-new, wildly funny and innovative multimedia work with a modular, house-of-mirrors structure. Equal parts humor, poetry, and image, the play explores the relationship between two women whose identities seem to continually shift in a mysterious high-tech room. What Happens Next is a bizarre, unusual, moving exploration of our relationship to technology alongside the bonds that link us to the people we love.
