Live Dreams: Jester

Performance Space’s Live Dreams is a platform for artists to share works-in-progress and ideas in development in a dynamic and responsive environment.

Live Dreams takes place both in-theatre at Carriageworks and digitally via our live streaming channel, Live On The Line. This platform offers us an exciting glimpse into current developments in experimental art, creating a crucible for experimentation and conversation.

As the world burns…and drowns…we find ourselves asking each other “What art should we be making right now?”. Do we lift the canvas flap of the sideshow tent and entreat our audiences to shuffle inside to our cavern of wonders, offering them a moment’s respite from the incessant bombardment of bad news?

Or, do we pass out the pitchforks and raise the rallying cry “the King is a Fool!” and lead our audiences towards the castle walls? Or do we strut and somersault and giggle our way into the throne room, and through our foolishness reveal his…and theirs?
