BADtime Story Theatre

Overview

"BADtime Story" is a theatrical exploration titled "Floating Lightly, Drifting in Dreams," centered on a bedtime story for a sleepless night. Overwhelmed by the minutiae of daily life, the protagonist encounters nocturnal wanderers and snails in a dreamscape, embarking on a quest to find the elusive "Small Antarctica." This production transcends traditional storytelling, employing a non-linear narrative that integrates monologues, juggling, and improvisational painting. By weaving together the blurred lines between reality and dreams, the piece delves into themes of insomnia, loneliness, and emotional depletion, offering a space for audiences to piece together their own fragments and find solace.
