About Some Must Watch While Some Must Sleep: 

 

SOME MUST WATCH WHILE SOME MUST SLEEP is the true story of how sleeptalker Tanya Marquardt (they/them) discovered a ‘sleeping self’ named X through their iPhone. Imagining what might happen if their ‘waking self’ and ‘sleeping self’ met, conversed, and maybe even healed, the piece invites the audience — called “experiencers” — to contemplate the dream world through a years worth of sleeptalk recordings. A devised, transdisciplinary, digital/analogue performance about PTSD, sleeptalking and healing, SOME MUST WATCH WHILE SOME MUST SLEEP is written and performed by Tanya Marquardt (they/them), directed by Fay Nass (he/them/he), and composed by Omar Zubair (he/him) with coding dramaturgy and design by Ainsley Ellis and dramaturgy by Heidi Taylor (she/her).
