‘In your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me.’
Insomniac’s Fable is a contemporary circus and dance piece featuring world class performers that chronicles a protagonist’s pursuit of idealised love. But as with all dreams, things can take a surreal turn at any moment...
Performed by Sakari Männistö, one of the world’s most original jugglers and classical ballet dancer Erin O’Toole, Insomniac’s Fable is a delicate love story with a Hitchcockian glint in its eye. Artist Angela Annesley’s eerily evocative images envelop the stage, and former Royal Ballet artist Ludovic Ondiviela’s dance choreography marries ballet’s well-established tradition of storytelling with contemporary circus.
Directed by Emma Lister, Insomniac’s Fable premiered in Cirko, Helsinki in 2018 and has since toured the UK and Finland.
