Awake

AWAKE explores the relationship between the act of dreaming and the art of improvisation.

The audience is invited to anonymously share a dream they have had or would like to have. These dreams, stories, and images are then seamlessly woven into the performance. Everything in the performance is improvised, from Tomasz’s physically expressive performance, to the jazz music provided by Thomas Touzan (drums) and Slim Chikhaoui (double bass), to the dynamic lighting work controlled live by Aiden Bromley.

Originally Tomasz’s final dissertation during his studies in European Theatre Arts at Rose Bruford College, Awake premiered professionally at the Dreams Before Dawn Festival in Paris.
