Dusk
2014
An installation, film and performance project for children exploring the idea of change
Dusk interweaves film and live performance to create a magical experience in which 4-7 year old children play a central role.
Nestled together in the heart of a hand-built forest, a group of creatures with furry tails are watching and waiting for someone to arrive. Their friend has a long way to travel, many things to discover and huge challenges to face.

Utterly ravishing... Life’s never boring when you have a tail to play with and it’s a wrench to leave Dusk’s twinkling world.
Time Out

...this piece for four to seven year olds ends on such an endorphin rush that the whole family emerges grinning inanely... An enthralling and deeply affecting call of the wild for families.
The Stage
...a show that creates two worlds, one in the theatre and one on film, and then makes then collide… the children are genuinely surprised and delighted.
The Guardian
Fevered Sleep have created a hybrid piece of film and theatre that enables the audience to re-think just how we see everything around us – both in a city and the natural world.
Bargain Theatreland
David Harradine, director of Fevered Sleep, wants to make strange, beautiful theatre for little people, and he's not talking Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He's talking green, ecologically sound vistas of change and renewal, a new dawn, a bright sky.
