PRAGMATA opens a door into the enigmatic parallel world of insomnia.
Sleep is supposedly a natural state. But for many, the night-time is
anything but restful. During sleepless hours, self-doubt, social
expectations and madness become entangled. Those affected experience it
alone and yet they are connected to a large community of sleepless
people. With a complex interweaving of objects and media, the levels of
meaning of nocturnal (un)rest can be experienced here.
PRAGMATA was
founded in 2015 by visual artist Alpha Kartsaki and sound
artist Sebastian Schlemminger. Their work combines object theatre with
electronic animation and music. In addition to theatrical projects and
numerous installations, they have also created object manipulations and a
short film. PRAGMATA is taking part in the Unidram festival for the
second time, this year with their radio play installation Gute Nacht
(Good Night) for those who can’t fall asleep.
