Sleep | HKRep Black Box | Show Introduction
A richly poetic work by a Nobel laureate
Juxtaposing past, present and future in an unusual “existence”
Couples of different ages move into a new house. They don’t acknowledge each other but seem to be aware of each other. The house recedes into a haze, time freezes before dissipating into thin air; people’s coming and going make up a rhythm akin to hesitancy in pillow talk. Just when the past and future confront each other in the same space… “he” arrives.
Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2023. His works—poetic and picturesque—invite the audience to extend their imagination. Sleep is his second play HKRep puts on stage. Yau Ting Fai, who spearheaded Winter a few seasons ago, directs his second Fosse work, creating a beautiful and touching theatrical experience for all.
