‘I'm Sleeping’

The metaphor of sleep as a dramaturgical directive in performance

 

Notes

1. It's worth also mentioning here the sleeping phase of REM (Rapid Eye Movement), characterized by random movement of the eyes and the tendency of the sleeper to dream vividly. This phase is also known as paradoxical or desynchronized sleep, because of its physiological similarities to waking states. In this sense, it fits quite accurately the way Barthes and Valentini also discuss the time of performance. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_eye_movement_sleep, accessed 18 December 2015.
