ARTISTIC POLICY
Reckless Sleepers produces works from a basis of research and development; where ideas are central, projects are installed rather than presented, mistakes are embraced, ideas are given a chance, and a second chance, and pushed so that they became uncomfortable to do, uncomfortable to listen and to uncomfortable to watch.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'The company create marvelously bizarre scenarios that confront notions of definition and perception, and challenge the rules and conventions we apply to everything from mathematics to emotions, including the very belief that we exist and know the difference between truth and lie.' The Glasgow Herald (Schrödinger’s Box)

'Inspiring, entertaining and appalling in equal measure.' The Guardian (The Last Supper)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A-Trophy Is a three-year research programme formed by several smaller projects such as Spanish Train and Nord-Ost. For more information and for regular updates on this programme visit the website.

Spanish Train A contemporary fairy tale presented in fragmented acts and parts. Themes of beauty and the beast, power and control, lull the viewers into a sense of misplaced security. A simple set provides two performers a delicate scene of explorative text combined with striking and precise movement provoking a poignant simple performance piece. (50 mins, 2 on stage, 3 on the road)

The Last Supper An intimate theatre performance for an audience of 39. An invitation to dinner, where the last moments and last words of the famous are recounted, then eaten… Served with the last meal requests of prisoners on death row. (50 mins, 3 on stage, 5 on the road)
