SLEEPLESSNESS
Part-mystery, part-documentary, part forensic investigation, Kaz Therese’s SLEEPLESSNESS is a quintessentially Australian story.
Focused on three generations of women, from Budapest 2003 to Sydney in 2022, Kaz Therese went on a profoundly personal 18-year journey to create SLEEPLESSNESS, uncovering family history, werewolf mythology, and bearded ladies. Fusing film, text and choreography, this acclaimed contemporary practitioner throws a fine light on the intergenerational impact of institutionalisation and migration.
