Like some backroom carnival ride, or lo-fi sci-fi pleasure machine, Amusements is an intensely sensorial and breathlessly seductive headphone-theatre spectacular that asks what exactly we might want from our entertainment, and what it might want from us.
“With the audience plugged wirelessly into its beating heart, the performance is both a hypnotic dance towards the limits of pleasure and an unsettlingly voyeuristic tribute to our private desires. Hauntingly gripping … an
awe-inspiring, sexually-charged performance.” The Stage
Sleepwalk Collective is an award-winning live-art and experimental group creating intimate performance experiences between the UK and Spain.
