Summary: Art museum security guards spend their days in uniform, speaking quietly or not at all, surrounded by works of irreplaceable art.
It may look easy, but the job requires a stressful degree of responsibility, poise, and silence. Some guards may begin to feel trapped inside their own thoughts, or even inside a painting. The Sleeping Fool presents the stories, dreams and thoughts of those who work behind the walls of an art gallery.
A wonderful piece - at times I felt as if I'd stumbled into someone's most secret thoughts. Beautiful use of music and speech - all evoking an intimate exploration into a world often ignored.
