#SLEEP NO MORE STORYLINE MOVIE#
SLEEP NO MORE was somewhat lacking in the special effects department, but overall that was something you can dismiss because the story was very interesting and the movie in general was quite good. The team’s research led them to believe that by eliminating sleep, after 200 hours of being awake, the human body and mind will perform better than normal. This 90-minute film, also known by the title 200 HOURS, tells the tale of a group of college scientists experimenting with a drug called Cognifan, which is supposed to keep the user awake. One of the creators of Final Destination, Jeffery Reddick, worked as an executive producer too (fun fact). Director Phillip Guzman and writer Jason Murphy put together a great horror flick here. In concrete terms, while Lady Macbeth cannot transcend her narrative, the performers themselves achieve a space where transcendence becomes possible – by merging forms, donning and letting go of different identities (characters), by slipping from spoken text to song to movement.SLEEP NO MORE will make you think twice about that next all-nighter. While observing a character trapped inside the dominance of a single narrative, the act of the performance itself attempts to offer a tentative way of escape from the clutches of a single, dominant narrative by engaging itself with multiple narratives. Imprisoned by her narrative, Lady Macbeth is trapped in time and space in a recurring loop that presents no window of escape. Through the character of Lady Macbeth, we explore the spaces created by one recurring, dominant narrative in her mind, this space becomes her cage. The woman in a closed room has existed always, exists today.Īn attempt at observing the consequences of confining, even forgetting about, the desires and imaginations of one such woman. Using the form of the monologue to play with different techniques of story-telling, we present the picture of a woman in whom desire and imagination overreach the space that her time and social conditions have defined for her. Taking Act 5, Scene 1 of The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare as a point of departure, we have created a theatrical/musical performance to present a portrait of Lady Macbeth.
