Major support of the Franklin Furnace Fund was provided in 2010-11 by the Lambent Foundation, the Fund of Tides Foundation, and the Jerome Foundation.
About the show
Through a series of tableaux vivants, Sleep of Reason uses the allegorical narratives in Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos to examine the theatrical/performance implications of abuse as depicted in the Abu Ghraib photographs.
