This is a warm-up gig. I need to warm up because I’m a professional storyteller who hasn’t been in front of an audience for a while. I became a mother this year… no wait... last year… sorry, I haven’t been sleeping.
Sleep deprivation is weird, time warps in the long darkness and the oldest stories are coming to me. Our shadows lie with all those other creatures in their nests, surrounded by ice sheets and night skies. For me, with sleep deprivation, it's like there’s no medium term; everything is immediate or eternal. I may not know where my shoes are but … for a moment… I'm pretty confident, I understand quantum theory and its something about stories. Time to warm up.
