Tree of Dreams is an intimate, cinematic theatre experience blending live music, object storytelling, shadow play, and projection. Inspired by The Little Prince, The Alchemist, and Where the Wild Things Are, the show follows a boy growing up in government housing who has forgotten how to dream — but the universe conspires to help him remember.

Through evocative visuals, transformed everyday objects, and original live music, Tree of Dreams explores what it means to keep dreaming when circumstances tell you not to — and how imagination can become an act of survival.
