About the performance
The performance One Last Sleep will take us back to our childhoods. What soothed and lulled us to sleep? What stories made us go to sleep? What lullabies? Was there always a light on in the hallway? Or was it just the flicker of the TV screen under the door? What fears were lurking under the bed?
Through an exploration of the evening rituals of lulling to sleep, the performance will recall events and stories that soothed us as children. Stories that simplified and ordered our everyday lives and made a chaotic world manageable again. In this way, we knew that the world we lived in was governed by very clear rules that had very clear consequences. Then, over the years, suddenly, without us even noticing, the world went out of control.
Through the process of reconstruction, by reliving moments that once soothed us, we try to understand how they worked and whether they have stayed with us over the decades. Do these rituals from our past have anything in common with the ways of chasing away the fears that hide in the dark corners of our rooms today?
"Just before I fall asleep, I often feel like I'm falling. Then, at the last moment, before I fall into a deep sleep, I shiver and wake up. I feel like I am really falling. I am falling into a sleep that may be so deep that, after falling into it, I will never pick myself up again. Let's just go to sleep one more time and everything will be different. Let's just go to sleep one more time and everything will be as it should be. Let's just go to sleep one more time, and we'll all live in a postcard."
