“It is the deep of night. I hear the humorless and lonely sounds. Staring into the dark, it is solitary and empty. My pupils enlarge as I look into the darkness…” Peng-Wei Yuan, an ALS patient, wrote with his eyes. The Awake immersive VR performance begins with fairy tale-like imagination. Sleeping Beauty is cursed to linger in a frozen world. While there is an inability to transmit messages to the outside, the stiff and functionless body shows a clear and abundant will.
