dream factory

No Vacancy Gallery, 2023
Rollercoaster Theatre Company
 

Dream Factory, an immersive performance installation that transports you into the real and imagined worlds of Neurodiverse and mixed ability artists. Inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, this extraordinary event explores themes of isolation, connection, and the longing for escapism. Join us for an unforgettable encounter in the No Vacancy gallery and dive into the transformative power of dreams.

Described as ‘a simple and subversive intervention from Rollercoaster Ensemble, a company of neurodiverse and mixed ability performers. Expect clowning and lightly interactive physical theatre to a soundtrack that runs from growl-y industrial to serene piano sonatas.

Directed by Madelaine Nunn and performed with mischievous energy by ensemble members, it reclaims wonder from the mundane through performance art, creating a secret world within the workaday one and inverting assumptions about performers with disability.’ (Cameron Woodhead, The Age).
