Target Audience: All ages

Duration: 45 minutes

Synopsis

“I wrote about it the next morning after that dream, and the morning after that, and each day after each dream… Am I actually awake? If it is not real, please wake me up, or stop manipulating me, let me find my body again .

A puppet chronicles her dreams. She questions the line between reality and false awakening. This performance work is a research into puppetry as a poetic, abstract and movement art form.

Combining visual theatre, puppetry of direct manipulation and dance , it is an invitation to delve into a dreamlike landscape, and navigate an enigmatic realm.
