Shut Eye

SHUT EYE Main Pic.jpg
With Shut Eye, Pig Iron teamed up with legendary American director Joseph Chaikin, founder of the Open Theater, to create an intriguing puzzle of tightly choreographed vignettes, songs, and dances.
A newlywed couple falls asleep at the dinner table; an insomniac finds herself trapped in a Gilbert and Sullivan musical; a woman visits her brother in the coma ward only to find him absorbed in a business meeting.  Poetic and absurd, Shut Eye counterpoints daring physical feats and ecstatic songs with intimate, small-scale revelations.
