Quiet Little Fox, Melbourne Fringe 2011 & Crack Theatre Festival Proudly Present
INSOMNIA CAT CAME TO STAY
“I am very awake. I’ve never been this awake before…
…Except every other night this week”
This is a story of the sleep deprived, of the hours between 10pm and 7am.
Crafted from journal entries it presents as a staged documentary: a cross-media fusion of live music and original animation projected onto one woman’s waking dream of sleep deprivation. Songs erupt from the script when speaking becomes an inadequate form of expression. Fantastic musings and manic suppositions take form and stalk across the stage…
One woman, one electric guitar and beautiful animated illustrations. Insomnia Cat is self-deprecating, fast-paced, tragic, manic and a little bit sexy.
Written and Performed by Fleur Kilpatrick
Directed by Danny Delahunty
Animation by Thomas Russell | Design by Sarah Walker
Musical arrangements and original music composition by Roderick Cairns
Production Manager Cassandra Fumi | PR Suzanne Truman
