Engine Room - Insomniacs' Sleepover/Lonely_City/When We Died
Work:: Engine Room (S01906097899)
An inspirational night of new performances from theatre-makers working across art forms and between genres.
Production:: Insomniacs' Sleepover/Lonely_City/When We Died (T01014647668)
Insomniacs' Sleepover - Most of us aren't very good at knowing what we want. But sometimes our bodies know before we do. Insomniacs' Sleepover is a one woman play about that. Told in rhyme. Award-winning poet and performer Amy Acre explores the truths that only come out at night, in a story about love, sex and sleep. Join her under the sheets for a nightscape of relaxation podcasts, sleep workshops and wet dreams. Before the sun rises, we'll have learnt how the amygdala works, to stop fighting ourselves and why love isn't always the answer.
Lonely_City - Lonely_City combines live theatre and documentary film elements onstage. The piece investigates our modern loneliness epidemic by intertwining stories of people affected by loneliness with a healthy dose of sensitivity, humanity, and good humour.
When We Died - She is a mortuary beautician. She loves her job and the short lived friendships and overblown back stories it allows her to form every day as she makes the deceased up, ready for their families to see them one last time. Until one day, a man she had no interest in ever seeing again becomes a client. He was a loving family man and died suddenly. He once sexually assaulted Her.
When We Died is an entertaining, bordering on harrowing story that aims to explore the unimaginable suffering of just one of many victims of unreported sexual abuse and the seemingly impossible task of trying to come to terms with their experience in order to move on.
