Hypnagogia

Hypnagogia is a collaboration between choreographer Meret Schlegel and sound artist Nick Brooke. The term “hypnagogia” refers to a transitional state between sleep and wakefulness, in which the body is jolted back into consciousness by sudden bursts of energy in a limb. This collaboration explores the tension between frantic activity and placid stasis. During the performance, electronic devices create involuntary movements in the collaborators’ bodies. These impulses arise unpredictably generated by sounds and movements, playing with the borderline between intention and the unexpected, between sleep and wakefulness.
