Theatre, music and groundbreaking technology combine in an extraordinary exploration into the future of live performance. Follow a sprite on a moonlit journey through the night until dawn.

A symphonic score based on recordings by the Philharmonia Orchestra is expanded by music created in real time by the movements of the performers. This living, dynamic soundtrack adapts and interacts with the narrative and the pre-recorded orchestral tracks.

Dream is brought to you by the Audience of the Future Consortium. The project is funded within the Audience of the Future programme by UK Research and Innovation through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund. Dream is generously supported by Miranda Curtis CMG, the Sidney E. Frank Foundation, Audrey Mandela and Sean Phelan, and is an EPIC MegaGrants recipient.

There are two ways to experience Dream. With an Audience Plus ticket, audience members can choose to take on the role of fireflies, lighting the forest for Puck and influencing what is happening in the world of the performance with movements of the mouse, trackpad or touchscreen. Guided by Puck they will ‘light the way’ to explore and support him on his mission. Alternatively, Audience is a free ticket and they can simply sit back and watch the live stream.
