After an Award-Winning run last year, HYPNAGOGUE was back at The Vaults this year went deeper than ever.
This sensory experience induces hypnosis or a deeply relaxing trance state in audience members, weaving song and improvised story which take 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. |
