between sleep and being awake 

This project is based on the regenerative power of dreaming — as a gateway to an inner navigation system, a biological heritage that connects us. 

During the REM phase, theta waves emerge in which unconscious images condense — images that have long been understood as guides.

Healing Sleep or Take a Nap Night: A Nocturnal Opera Happening from Sunset to Sunrise, draws on ancient healing sanctuaries that combined theater, baths, and healing sleep. Its aim is to rethink opera as a social practice: as a space of transformation, where sleep and dreaming become impulses for inner landscapes, collective regeneration, and new narratives of the future.
