Parasomnia is about the urgency of giving ourselves the time to waste daydreaming, sharing the space with one another without any goal, or just sleeping. An invitation to slowing down our bodies during the daily rhythm of our working days. It is a performance-installation spread across several rooms promoting the stimulation of melatonin and the appropriate vapours of somnolence for the induction of sleep and the practice of lucid dreams.
