P.L.U.T.O. – an ensemble of stage directors, actors and writers formed in 2015 at Lincoln Center Director’s Lab – comes together to create collectively and to expand both their geographical and creative frontiers. They constantly challenge themselves with questions such as; How do we produce theater today? What make us complementary? Is it possible to create an art piece that dialogs with all our different cultural backgrounds at the same time?
