Live performance

As the audience come in, I have already been lying for some time in my starting position. I am asleep on the floor in front of the stage. I wake up as if I were in a trance and slowly stand up. I then move towards the audience as if I were sleepwalking. Suddenly I slap someone from the audience round the face. Then, as if nothing had happened, I move on.
