WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
EXTENDED! NOW THROUGH APRIL 22ND.
Wake Up Mr. Sleepy! Your Unconscious Mind Is Dead! is Richard Foreman's latest battle cry as he plunges head first into the planet's malaise and digs beneath the surface of our everyday lives and dreams. As it straddles the divide between film and theater, Richard Foreman's newest dramatic extravaganza struggles to unearth the un-knowable sources of human inventiveness. Wake Up Mr. Sleepy! Your Unconscious Mind Is Dead! is the second in a series in which Foreman uses a backdrop of digital film shot in countries around the world, in this case--Lisbon Portugal, recent World Cup contenders.

As it turns out, Ax-e-tron's brand of theater looks remarkably similar to his own, and the aliens are thinking about the same issues that the director has pondered in several of his other works.
As always, Foreman's ideas are[...]
