The Waiting Room

Dec 2019 to Jan 2020 - Installation and Interactive Performance.
Installation: candles, altar, blankets, carpet, wood fired oven
Performance: 4 to 6 hour shows of continuous performance for groups of 10 to 30 people at a time.
About 2000 participants in a total of 27 shows.
Initial stage of the immersive art experience Dream World, at a former car workshop in Berlin Ostkreuz.
The production was featured on sites like
Tagesspiegel and Berlin Loves You, among others.
Here is a 3D model of the installation (missing the fire oven that was part of it during the shows).
The Waiting Room is a soporific limbo preceding the gates to the dream, a site for the suspension of reality and an entrance into the numinous. Here I perform as a mysterious shamanic figure who induces participants into a "dream state" by reciting poems about dreaming, telling bedtime stories, singing lullabies, coming into dialogue with the participants and experimenting with interactive hypnosis practices. One by one, participants are summoned to the wheelchair, where I bless them with personal spells as they slide onto their dream.
