In a Sleep

In this performance, the bed represents a metaphorical space where one can escape from the realities of life. It symbolizes a state of contentment and comfort, shielded from the challenges and complexities that come with being fully awake and engaged in the world.

The bed, personified as a living being, exists solely within the realm of sleep. It is oblivious to the happenings outside its cocoon, representing how many of us go about our lives without truly engaging with the world around us.

The bed, personified as a living being, exists solely within the realm of sleep. It is oblivious to the happenings outside its cocoon, representing how many of us go about our lives without truly engaging with the world around us. We may be physically present, but mentally and emotionally, we are in a state of slumber.

The deep sleep experienced in this metaphorical dream is not caused by physical exhaustion; rather, it arises from a desire to avoid confronting the harsh realities and strong emotions that come with living a fully awake life. It is a self-imposed escapism, a way of maintaining a safe and serene existence without stepping out of one’s comfort zone.

The performance serves as a reflection on this prevalent tendency to live within this state of a sleepy position. It questions whether this is truly living, and challenges the audience to contemplate whether they are truly awake or merely existing in a dream-like state.
