Sleep no more

A British theatre company has been wowing audiences in New York this month with an unusual version of Macbeth.
The production, called Sleep No More, uses dance and visual theatre, and some 100 rooms across six floors of a warehouse space dressed to look like an old hotel.

Cool Hunting's latest video interviews Livi Vaughan, Associate Designer for Punch Drunk, who played a large part in assembling the massive interactive piece Sleep No More, currently playing in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC. An intensely detailed set, Livi talks about the challenges and excitement of Sleep No More's decor and the challenges of inventing a driving enigmatic space that will continuously engage the audience.

REIGEN ad lib

U.S. Premiere
REIGEN ad lib Performed by Dood Paard
Thurs and Fri, Apr 28 and 29, 8 pm
Sat, Apr 30, 3 and 8 pm

The Amsterdam-based avant-garde theater collective Dood Paard, working with no director or set designer, presents a provocative staging of Arthur Schnitzler's seminal text Reigen (Full Circle, 1897). Banned for more than 20 years, except for one unauthorized performance in Budapest in 1912, this scandalous play of love and lust assembles ten consummate dialogues between a motley collection of characters, all with the same goal: sex.
