Sabrina D’Angelo – Why Do I Dream?

A physical comedy that’s all in your mind.

Following smash hit seasons at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2014 (The Age’s Must See Critic’s Picks) and NZ Fringe Festival 2014 (Winner – Best Comedy, Nomination – Stand Out Performer), body-poet Sabrina D’Angelo returns to Wellington with her dazzlingly absurd physical comedy, Why Do I Dream? Described as ‘Kate Bush meets Mr Bean’, Sabrina is the dream weaver in this one woman tour de farce, combining 80’s dance, 60’s folk ballads, 90’s magic tricks and a haunting teddy bear for all ages. Why Do I Dream? was created with acclaimed UK comedy director Cal McCrystal (Mighty Boosh, Sacha Baron Cohen) and plays at FatG for four nights only.

Enter a bizarre old-gold world where bears and bum-worms burst forth like hot-air buffoons.

Why Do I Dream? sees Sabrina unlocking a Pandora's Bumbag of characters - you'll meet a tragic magician, a trash fashion model, a low rent Madame Bovary and a high rent chimp.

Why Do I Dream? is the story of her life (and the life of her story).

Sabrina is a Sydney based performer, puppeteer and comedian, who also works as a clown doctor in children’s hospitals.
