The Sleep Show visits The Egg Theatre in February

Peut-Être Theatre present The Sleep Show, a dreamy dance-theatre experience that highlights the importance of a good night’s rest. This captivating performance explores the challenges children face around bedtime and transforms something many can find stressful into a playful adventure. The show appears at The Egg Theatre on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 February. All of the performances are ‘relaxed’, with an option for children to enjoy playtime at the end. There will also be a post-show Q&A with The Sleep Charity on Saturday 7 February following the 3pm performance.

The show softly explores the challenges children face around bedtime, turning the often daunting experience into one of fun and discovery. Through imaginative storytelling and choreography, this production aims to offer fresh perspectives on sleep for children and their parents.   

Peut-Être Theatre’s artistic director, Daphna Attias said: “I want families to come out feeling that sleep is a joyful thing that you can celebrate. There’s a lot of theory and anxiety around sleep, plus a lot of dos and don’ts. Ideally, we’d like people to go in to the performance uninhibited of any of those negative thoughts. We want them to experience the concept of sleep as a poetic, beautiful and dreamy paradox that happens to our bodies”.
