Dreams are a very nostalgic phenomenon that we mostly associate with childhood. The dreams and nightmares that we’ve had in our childhood a lot of times leave a strong imprint and some we can even still remember. The installation “(And) From one moon to another I leap” lets the audience experience and connect with the dreams and nightmares of their own and today’s children.

Four directing students of Object and devised theatre from DAMU in Prague work with material from a dream workshop with Latvian children who shared their dream experiences with backward flying parrots, poopshaped monsters, zombies and time-machines.

Creatures, beings, plants, words, thoughts, species and spices of dream experiences are being materialised, sculpted and montaged together in a unifying space. A space that serves as a common base for all of our dreams and their materialisation.

To create a collective experience, this performative-interactive-dream-installation offers the audience to pin fragments of their own dreams and nightmares to an ever-expanding dreamy landscape. We invite you to shape your dreams. Catch them, let them go, reconsider them in space. Dream particularities collectively.
