Cheap Shadow Dream Shop (2023)

35’’

REYER, Aryelle Hopelezz, Noam Shustler, Yadin Bernauer

Cheap Shadow Dream Shop is a sci-fi theater piece that takes place in the ‘dream arena’ where two dreamsellers are working many hours to produce dreamsteam and sell it to the dream collectors (audience).

The work allows absurdity and queer nightlife practices to create gaps of information which are holding layers of invisible currents, by using the hands to touch and touch ourselves, a way of speaking memories with the body is unlocked to find inner echoes, in order to implement critical dream choreographies. The work questions audience what this dreams are worth by auctioning them off.

Q1: How can we materialize and give sensation to subjective marginalized memories and implement them in a space, making a smoke cloud of dream-components in space Q2: What are the relations to this smoke and how do we navigate personal histories and intimacies inside the smoke? Q3: How do our dreams become capitalized under precarious conditions?
