Sleep No More,
a mash-up of Shakespeare's Macbeth
and 1930s film noir that combines elements of theater, dance, and haunted fun
house for a unique evening that engages all of the senses.
This is an performance event that
dramatized the experience of presence.
Upon
check-in you must put on a white mask. The effect is
transformative you become another helpless character in the story, a
white-faced ghost hovering about the action but unable to alter the outcome of
the tragic events playing out in front of you. You can wander pretty freely through five
floors of dimly lit hallways and rooms, without speaking. As you wander, you'll
cross paths with actors playing various characters. Follow them, and they'll
lead you through the play. "Sleep" is unique because everyone's
experience is different. This was a completely new
experience for me and the concept of Sleep no more definitely brings back the
experience in the physical presence.
