We Should All Be Dreaming, by Sonya Lindfors and Maryan Abdulkarim

Alkantara Festival 2024

Event Slider

In 'We Should All Be Dreaming', Sonya Lindfors and Maryan Abdulkarim create a space where we come together to dream of possible and impossible futures, over the course of a dinner party.

Initiated in 2018 by the two artists, both interested in radical utopian and decolonial practices, the project presented here in partnership with Alkantara Festival focus on the radical potential of dreaming as a restorative and subversive practice.

Situating itself between a think tank, a choreographed gathering and a performance, the show does not only react to or reveal the grim realities of the world but also works as a platform of resistance by making space for communal coexistence.

To buy tickets for the event, you need to fill in the registration form. The data contained and collected on the form is the sole responsibility of the artists and the Alkantara Festival.

Duration: 180 min.
