Insomniacs Fable at Jacksons Lane Theatre

A mesmerising performance by Emma & Sakari called an Insomniacs Fable. It encompasses a mixture of dance, circus and visual arts over three acts. Telling the story of unrequited love between a polyboy and polygirl, with act 1 where polyboy sees an image of polygirl across the sea. Haunting his dreams and making him struggle to fall asleep.

Act 2, entering a dream state where polyboy where his fantasy comes true, but the it soon turns into a nightmare where polygirls love turns into obsession. She wounds playboy and he falls into a 2nd sleep.

Polyboy is now in a dream within a dream in act 3, he becomes lost in a forest but will polygirl save him….

The lighting is impressive and the use of shadows made by cardboard cutouts to paint a picture is awesome. The costumes were made and designed by Alice.
