Please join us for a performance based on the post-election dreams collected and curated online by The Candidate Journal. The performance will feature dream readers reciting the 35 collected dreams while the texts of the dreams are projected behind the readers in slideshow format. Projected as well will be the visual artworks, also depicting dreams that were submitted to the journal. The readings will be interspersed with dance and music. Artwork by several of the artists participating in the project will be displayed -- both new works and the works originally submitted.
The performance will be followed by an open mic. Audience members will be invited to share their own post-election dreams and engage in on-the-spot dream analysis.
