“What are the taboos of watching someone sleep? What do we look like when we lose control?”
These are the questions that Deborah Pollard asks in her performance installation at TheatreWorks.

We were intrigued by the idea of watching someone sleep, which then informed the design approach. We had the title walking into the frame, like an voyeuristic intruder. The continuous text also suggest that of the r.e.m. cycle.
