" Supper With The Reckless Sleepers..."
Recently I met The Reckless Sleepers... an Anglo Belgian performance company, formed in 1988.
Their name is taken from Rene Magritte's painting... the reckless sleeper....painted in 1928...and the company delight in performing provocative drama... in surreally wonderful places.
I met them as they dined at a long table ( with wine splattered cloth of white linen)... set before an altar ...in a vast church, just within the walls of the city......where they performed their version of " The Last Supper"...a zany sampling of the "Lasts" of the Famous: their statements, their meals, their different scenarios...
This was a thoughtful and strangely haunting evening... led by three talented actors...a tribute to a stunning variety of people ( ghosts and otherwise)... who will linger long in the folds and creases of our minds...
