How Forests Dream in This Summer An Immersive Dance Performance at Fou Gallery Immersive Event - Main Image

From the end of August to the beginning of September in 2021, this beautiful place will become an immersive stage for the interactive dance performance How Forests Dream. The theatre is based on a true story that happened here: after the sudden death of the husband, the wife passed through the darkness as if she walked among thorn bushes. She never loses her longing for the glimmer of hope, and finally managed to calm her broken heart. Following the journey of the solo dancer, the audience will travel around the border of life and death. Traversing truth and illusion, they will immerse themselves into unique and mysterious dreams, and obtain a profound and memorable experience. Everyone will realize that there are always so many thrilling epic stories happening in places where we do not know. In How Forests Dream, several dreams are scattered all over the space of Fou Gallery, complete or shattered, waiting for the audience to explore. Every audience will be assigned a unique vintage-style fascinator. The hats and the letters hanging in Fou Gallery will be the clues and keys to the dreams. The performance will create a subconscious world through dreaming and meditating, full of fantasies and unknowns. With the fascinators as lanterns in their hands, the audience will walk through this bizarre misty forest together. Due to the peculiarities of the performance, we can only accommodate 12 people per show. From August 26th to 29th and September 9th to 12th, there will be one performance per day. The audience will not be spectators as in traditional dramas, but participators as a part of the story. They will join the adventure together with the dancer during the performance. We hope this journey across life and death in the forest of dreams will help everyone see their inner self more clearly. Life is like a dream. We hope everyone can truly find their own path of self-healing. Masks are required!
