Dream World: The Experiment

“Dream World: The Experiment” was Dream World’s initial pilot project to test an art form combining immersive installations, interactive performances and an overarching narrative guiding visitors through the experience. Visitors were invited onto a 1-2 hour interactive adventure through a dream sequence with over a dozen performers in a completely immersive arts installation. After the experience they could stay to dance, reflect, and meet other dreamers in our Dream World Clubhouse.

The experience featured the work of over 50 local creatives, including Karmanoia – the creators of the greatly missed “Labyrinth” at Wilde Renate (2010-2014) who pioneered this form of immersive art, along with original artworks from artists such as Anto Christ, Lacy Barry, Chemical Adam and The Void, just to name a few.

Dream World runs in a sustainable, nonprofit model with the goal of compensating artists to allow creatives to live from their work and keep bringing their magic to Berlin. This event was financed by the team, with all proceeds being used to cover the running costs. The temporary venue for the Dream World Experiment was provided by Pandion through their Transiträume initiative, supporting the temporary use of buildings for local culture.
