“I can’t sleep. I’ve tried fluffing my pillow and counting sheep, drinking milk and singing a lullaby. But I just can’t find a way, no matter what I try.”

An insomniac, tossing and turning in her bed, is accompanied by a singing cellist and a strange presence as she searches for sleep through an endless night.

Using a potent mixture of live music, illusion, puppetry and quirky object manipulation, L’Insomnante delivered a surreal journey through night-time adventures.

A sister project, Dormez-vous?  was a specially devised as a multi-sensory experience for children on the autistic spectrum.
