I saw Sleep No More this week, an interactive theater experience made by Emursive and Punchdrunk, and here's a small snippet of how I felt. For a further explanation, (no spoilers, I promise) check out my first video!
1. Hesitation
Everyone is putting on creepy white masks...did I walk into a cult ritual by mistake? This was the address on my email...
2. Fear
Please don't let this give me nightmares. And how do I get off the asylum floor?!
3. Anxiety
The witches are coming again and they are screaming. I'm going to follow Macduff; less creepy crap happens with him.
4. Confusion
Wait, he was dead- why is he sitting at the table? I should have read Macbeth before this. And brought a water bottle.
5. Shock
I need to sit and contemplate this for a bit. My sanity has left and my mind has been ravaged by someone else's crazy idea brought to life. I'll tell you what I thought when I can think again.
There you have it. For more shock and confusion and questions (little answers) see my video musings on Sleep No More!
