The City That Slept is a puppet show that asks what would happen if "Sleep" arrives 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.
Tom has toured with Bread and Puppet, and with Rahul Pulavar's tholpavakoothu performances. He has brought his own hand and rod puppet work to various venues around New York and New England. Before moving to the USA he had a marionette theater on a trailer, which he toured around New Zealand.
