"The City That Slept" is a puppet show that asks what would happen if "Sleep" arrived in New York City. As the deity wanders the streets, people begin to doze off. Their dreams are brought to life through shadow puppetry, lanterns, and storytelling. We hear voices from people in Union Square, Central Park, and the streets of the city.
Tom Tuke is a puppeteer, educator, and artist from Aotearoa/New Zealand. "The City That Slept" was developed as his capstone project at the University of Connecticut's Puppet Arts Program.
Tuke has toured with Bread and Puppet Theater and with performances of Tholpavakoothu's production of "Ramayana." He has brought his own hand-and-rod puppet work to various venues around New York and New England. Before moving to the United States to study puppetry, he had a marionette theater on a trailer, which he toured around New Zealand.
