***NEWS***
After an Award-Winning run last year, HYPNAGOGUE has been back at The Vaults this year and we've gone deeper than ever.
This sensory experience induces hypnosis or a deeply relaxing trance state in audience members, weaving in song and elements of an improvised story that takes inspiration from both the audience and the space in which we tell.
This is accompanied by an instrumental soundscape and healing gong bath, leading audiences on a transformative experience.
