48 Hills feature on
Knights of Revery
48 Hills Article by Joshua Rotter.
Deciphering dreams is difficult.
So much so that historical figures like Joseph Campbell, Ibn Sirin, Edgar Cayce, and of course Papa Freud built reputations on making sense of others’ often-illogical mental imagery, ideas, and emotions occurring during sleep.
Over the last decade, the Knights of Revery have wowed audiences with their uncanny ability to demystify dreams.
Relying on quick wit, surreal storytelling, and crowd participation, the intrepid improv duo of Sir Pomp (Robert Wyald) and Sir Psycho (Brian Livingston) regularly aid attendees across the cryptic realm of the unconscious in their Knights of Revery: a Surreal, Comedic Dream Immersion.
Taking place every third Thursday and Friday through June 16 at North Beach’s The Lost Church, the pair’s playful and highly interactive production provides plenty of otherworldly excitement. (And heads up, lovers: A Valentine’s Week special means if you buy one ticket you can bring your date or friend for free Thu/16 and Fri/17.)
I spoke to Wyald and Livingston about developing their unique show, some of the wildest fantasies they’ve ever encountered, and how holding fast to dreams enables their artistic ambitions to fly.
48 HILLS How did you develop your surreal comedic dream immersion?
ROBERT WYALD: Back in 2011, my friend and fellow improviser Daniel Smith and I discovered we had great chemistry on stage, creating funny yet moving scenarios. We decided to create a two-person improv show, bringing our love of the absurd, surreal, and quirky, and also our desire to touch deeper, philosophical, and psychological places.
We both loved Knights of Revery, and the name sparked the vision for the content and structure of the show. From the word Revery, we knew we wanted to invite the audience into a dreamlike state. Browsing Wikipedia, I then serendipitously discovered the Jungian word psychopomp, defined as a spirit guide between the conscious and unconscious realms. Thus, Sir Psycho and Sir Pomp—the Knights of Revery—were born.
In 2012, Daniel decided to move on, and my friend and brilliant actor Brian Livingston came on and—though much of the ritual experience remains true to the original 2011 vision—Brian and I have been massaging the form of the immersive experience ever since.
48 HILLS How would you describe Sir Pomp and Sir Psycho? How are you similar to your characters?
ROBERT WYALD Sir Pomp is quirky yet proper. He colors outside the lines, yet he is lovely and attentive to the audience—the constellation of dreamers. He wants to make sure everyone is having a good time. He’s an explorer of the unconscious. No question is too small; the smallest questions are usually the biggest to him. He emanates a sense of wonder and curiosity. He shows up at the right time in your dream to contribute the right quip, object, or task to help you expand and grow.
I share a good amount of overlapping qualities with Sir Pomp. I’m probably a bit less proper or formal in my day-to-day and less bumbling. The inquisitiveness of Sir Pomp is very much like me; that part of myself gets to come through in more bizarre and fun ways during the show. If anything, that’s the part of Sir Pomp that I’d want to bring more of back into myself and my regular, waking life.
BRIAN LIVINGSTON Sir Psycho, like me, is spontaneous; I, like him, believe in magic. He has a better ability to conjure his ideas from nothing, and I am habitually bound by the real and tangible.
In my daily life, I have aspirations and thoughts that are more esoteric and shamanic, which is where Sir Psycho lives continually. Also, he’s able to combine history, pop, and current events into cultural mash-ups, which I love. But in the real world, people don’t want to hear or care to understand my inner brain.
48 HILLS What do you expect of audience members coming to the show?
ROBERT WYALD It’s less of an expectation and more of an invitation. I hope the audience comes with an openness to let themselves relax and enjoy. Since the Knights of Revery is a less traditional theater piece, we hope there is a willingness to be open to a new idea of entertainment and performance art.
We also hope that the audience will be inspired to participate because the joy that gets created is contagious and magical. What we want the audience to know, however, is that they can sit back and enjoy the show or they can dive in and co-create.
That’s also why we suggest the audience comes dressed in costume. It’s an immediate way for them to feel part of the experience and step outside themselves for an evening.
BRIAN LIVINGSTON A suspense of disbelief, attitude of participation, compassionate listening, honesty in sharing their dream worlds, and convivial attitude.
48 HILLS How do you balance the comedic and serious in the reenactment of dream scenarios?
