_SYNOPSIS
An invitation to the meal of your dreams.
Sweet Dreams is a study of human appetites – of greed and restraint, guilt and desire. Using the theme of food and the language of dreams, it explores our complex and often conflicted relationships with the things we want.
Sweet Dreams is an immersive experience and VR piece that combines screen, theater, music & cutting edge technology to bring a new way for audiences to engage with stories.
