Imaginarium
“Imaginarium” is a journey through the inner world of memories, images and possibilities. The depicted world of creatures refers to dreams, myths and symbols and lets the audience dive into an exceptional reality in order to connect with their subconscious and inner self. As with previous works, this performance involves a technique of collage, exploring the deeper 3D space in a 2D world. Life is constant dreaming, and so is the “Imaginarium”.
