Rapid

Eye

Movement

The performance invites audiences to explore dreamlike landscapes constructed from fragments captured in the physical world. Dreams are the raw material, while the human mind and body serve as the instruments.

Audience participation is a driving force behind Rapid Eye Movement. Ahead of the show, the artists launched an online form to collect dreams from the public. Anyone can contribute to the project—sharing dreams and nightmares, describing visions, or submitting images and sounds.

Using these textual and visual elements, the artists juxtapose scenes and construct intricate 3D architectures—abstract, stylized dream worlds that are at once familiar and surreal— combining creations and generative AI and merging music and live images.

The narrative structure is inspired by the five sleep cycles. Rapid Eye Movement refers to the final phase—the dream stage, just before waking—when elements from everyday life resurface and blend into a parallel reality.

This immersive performance blurs the boundaries between reality and the dream world in real time, accompanied by a film  presenting key moments  from the artists’ experimental process.
