Photo Flash: SLEEP NO MORE Hits A.R.T. On 10/8
By: Reynard Loki
The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) is proud to be hosting pioneering British theater company Punchdrunk in its North American premiere. Co-created by Punchdrunk and the A.R.T., Sleep No More is an immersive multi-sensory theater installation inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Hitchcock’s classic thrillers. The Old Lincoln School in Brookline Village is being transformed into a supernatural landscape that will give audiences the experience of traveling through a hybrid theatrical-cinematic world.
Punchdrunk is the UK’s leading exponent of immersive theatre. Based in London, the company produces original works of installation performance on an epic scale. Since its foundation in 2000, the company has developed a phenomenal reputation for transformative productions that fuse intense, physical storytelling, music, and large-scale installation art. Audiences have the freedom to roam the installed environment and experience an individual sensory journey as they choose what to watch and where to go. This is a unique theatrical experience where the line between performer and spectator is extraordinarily blurred.Further information and tickets at $25 and $39 are available at 617.547.8300 or www.americanrepertorytheater.org.Photo credit: Stephen Dobbie and Lindsay Nolan
