Miguel Cotrés & Kent Olofsson – Dröm/Spel

Dream, to dream – a powerful and magical word exalted in a shimmer of different meanings, contexts and narratives. Everything, from dream theories of the dream sleep, the subconscious, dream interpretation, omens and prophecies, creation stories, utopias, hope, faith and visions, to today’s individual dreams of becoming something.

In a contemporary context, creating one’s dreams is often synonymous with vitality, ambition and success. ”If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough” is a quote we can easily laugh at… But what do dreams do to us? Do we need dreams? Are the dreams our own or are we just connecting to different narratives created by other forces. Dreams are a movement towards a future that becomes the past… but what happened to the present?

In Dröm/Spel, dance and stage artist Miguel Cortés continues his close collaboration with composer Kent Olofsson. Together with musicians and performers they invite the audience on a journey through musical tableaus and embodied poetry; a road trip-like performance concert that has become their signature.
