The Heart of The Beast presents Tom Tuke’s “The City That Slept”
What happens when Sleep arrives in New York? We listen, as the city falls asleep, and folks retell dreams. Using shadow, lantern and large-scale marionettes, we see these dreams as they weave through the towers, avenues and city blocks. Using interviews recorded in Union Square, and soundscapes from around the city, Tuke creates a tableau of New York.
