“Why am I not allowed to lie down in public spaces?â€

Have you ever tried lying down in a public space for any period of time? It can prove problematic. Theatre maker Raquel Meseguer, who lives with chronic pain, has a vision for public resting spaces. Challenging our etiquette and perceptions of people lying down, she imagines how our cultural spaces might embrace 'Cloudspotters', her euphemism for people with hidden conditions like her own.
