An urban and night-signed choreography Abou Lagraa. The director Charles Picq proposes an adaptation in urban natural decoration.

Pulled by a piece created in 2000 and rewritten specially for the television, Sleepless night stages three men on the summit of a skyscraper which dominates the city. They are in suspension between heaven and earth, over the movements of the street and the ceaseless swarm of the urban life.
The action begins in the daytime, in natural light, under the sun and the distant rumour of the city and ends in the trance in the middle of the night. Exhausted, the dancers give their last movements to the sunrise.

3 characters perched on 3 platforms, cannot inform between them that by crossing a net connecting(binding) platforms the some to the others. Link at once reassuring and unstable, but which can also become, for whom ventures there, an abyss, a trap, a den of iniquity.
