Usually, adults sing lullabies to children. In his immersive and poetic musical performance Nation of Sleep, Ari Benjamin Meyers reverses this situation: part of the audience is invited to lie down and have an individual experience. Children from Graz soothe spectators in one-on-one encounters, encouraging them to relax and sleep in a world they could not prevent from falling apart. As it appears, the youngest generation might have to make sacrifices the preceding generations should have made for a brighter future.
