    A co-created waking dream experience exploring the city’s collective unconscious
    Description

    Part of the Future of Performance series, the experimental participatory experience Bright Day invites the audience to be central participants in a co-created waking dream. Over a period of a week, trans-disciplinary artists Chan Kwun-fee, Fiona Lee and AK Kan collaborate with audience-participants on a two-part exploratory journey that delves into the city’s collective unconscious.

     

    The first part of the journey, “Dreaming Alone”, is conducted by audience-participants individually at home. The second part, “Dreaming Together”, involves a communal experience – part dream, part waking reality – in a constructed environment of soundscapes and imagery. This part takes place at Freespace and can only be conducted during daylight hours.

     

    Notes on the Production
    The two-part experience requires active participation by audience-participants.

     

    Part 1: Dreaming Alone
    The individual part of the experience takes place over seven days at your home. Please collect a “Dream Kit” at the Xiqu Centre ticket office between 25 October and 27 November 2022, and complete the seven-day guided dream practice before the group part of the experience at Freespace. If you are unable to collect the Dream Kit before the event at Freespace, you may also collect it from us on the day and conduct the individual experience afterwards.

     

    Xiqu Centre ticket office opening hours: 10:00am–9:00pm daily

     

    Part 2: Dreaming Together
    The group part of the experience takes place in The Room at Freespace according to the date and time selected.

     

    Description More

    Artistic Concept
    Ghosts and memories are everywhere. If night-time experiences occur during the day, are we dreaming or awake? Channelling the collective dreams of the people of this city, we create an urban collective unconscious – a shared experience beyond waking, beyond dreams.

     

    About the Future of Performance series
    In 2020, Freespace commissioned three teams of young local artists to explore the future of contemporary theatre and performance through innovative new creations. These collaborations evolved into three new works: A Thousand PlateausBright Day and Presence.
