WAKE

Step inside the dream — and remember what it means to live.

WAKE Immersive Event - Main Image

Come WAKE with us. Verbooom Collective brings you a new dreamtheatre experience where story meets movement and memory meets magic. WAKE is an emergent ritual at the threshold between life and death – but unlike many Western rites, it explodes into joy. When you step inside, you become part of a remembrance — surrounded by movement and sound, in the middle of an unfolding story. What happens when we accept the simple fact that we’re going to die? Would we make different choices? Created by a multidisciplinary team — writer, actor, dancer – we use movement for what words can’t hold, and text when movement is imprecise.
