Awakening to a New World
(20 mins) – performance
Where am I?
Often in my travels, I wake up in an unfamiliar bed and rooms. Often dazed and sometimes disturbed and beguiled. How do I find the peace to be able to sleep again? How do I find comfort in uncomfortable places?
There is this sensation of being trapped in dreams. Actually mix of feelings and struggles that the body knows. In this piece I try to relive those moments. Through expressive movements, I will depict the suffocating feeling of navigating from one dream to another. This poignant exploration invites audiences to witness the transformative journey of awakening to a new world and the emotions that accompany it.
