Have you ever tried keeping a record of the entire gamut of events and people that played out in your mind while you were asleep. Renowned writer and theatre director John Britton confesses to have stalked his dreams for over a year, in order to experience how real they were. It’s what led him to create a new, physical theatre performance with Amruta Mapuskar, titled Rapid-I-Movement, to be staged today.

The human mind’s actions are said to be guided by their waking self. “But what if there is a sleeping self that wakes up when we go to sleep, has eight hours of adventure and then goes back to rest,” asks Britton, the founder and director of The DUENDE School of Ensemble Physical Theatre, who has been running workshops across the world.
