Dreams of Dreams is a show of physical theater brainchild of director Giovanni Firpo and composer Francesco Leineri. In the show music, masks and objects contribute to create a universal language suitable for every type of viewer. The images and music of the show stem from dream experiences of the actors themselves and the pursuit of dreams and desires shared by all humanity: this type of collective research was created to seek a universal theater poetry, understood as the search of the highest concepts, using the poorest materials. The music, composed specially for the show, is performed live by multi-instrumentalist Francesco Leineri.
The show premieres in India at ITFOK 2017.
