“What is left when we wake up? What is this thing we call ‘reality’, the thing we comply with?
From which deaf injunctions is our use of reality made?
Things are not just what they are, otherwise the times would not be howling. This is the reason why we have to push the walls. It is urgent to see things differently. The fragile strength of a poem can do this: it calls our point of view into question, it blurs our usual coordinates, and joyfully loses our landmarks. Experiment is a matter of sight.
So let’s spawn other pathways in the space to come.
The gaps of matter teem with possibilities of infinite lives.”
– Yoann Bourgeois

“A poetic exploration of time, space and the physical forces, I wonder where the dreams I don’t remember go, propels our imagination into new and unexpected territory, offering us a compelling universe that questions our sense of reality.”
– Artistic director Emily Molnar about I wonder where the dreams I don’t remember go
