Dreaming Beauty is a movement play based on Charles Perrault's Sleeping Beauty and its predecessor Giambattista Basile's Sun, Moon and Thalia. With the help of these two fairy tales, an autonomous dream space that is not described in either of them is created. Vaiva Paukštė, together with the creative team of the performance, explores the relationship between gender and narrative. The creators aim to change the point of view from the external, male gaze to the inner experience of the sleeping beauty, her dreamlike reality, thus destroying the image of the fictional "woman".
Breaking and mixing the stage and the narratives of these two tales, sometimes ironically different versions and points of view intertwine with each other, the performance wanders in dreams between emerging memories and its different destinies.
