If you visit the park, as the day turns into night, you may come across its most mysterious visitors. At dusk, they fill the space with their memories and hopes. If you stay until dark, you may witness the intertwining of their lives and immerse yourself in the dreams they’ve dreamed.
Busker’s Dream is a site-specific, poetic, theatrical intervention for a park. Parks mean different things to different people. For some, it means a shortcut home. For others, a pleasant place to meet friends. Lovers whisper sweet promises in parks. And the elderly gather on benches and share their troubles. Parks see all this, and more….
The show "Busker’s Dream: A Poem for a Park" is a street variety spectacle with larval masks. These are simple masks—black-and-white, large shapes—and they bring a unique dream world to the park. This dreamlike atmosphere combines with a romantic view of street art to create a tribute to the life of the public spaces that mean so much to us.
