Devised theatre
Wakeless
Put reality out of your mind.
A surreal cocktail of light, sound and mask where the stage is everywhere and the audience is the action.
With the shifting logic of a dream, Wake Less mixes deadpan humour and reckless improvisation. Absurd and immediate, the work is an investigation of our need for entertainment as an escape, and the people employed to provide it.
