DREAM MASONS
Outdoor festival opening event.
Dream Masons transformed the façade of the Salamanca Arts Centre into an awesome theatrical spectacle of grand proportions. The entire work was accompanied by a live band with original music composed by Basil Hogios, who musically directed and performed in the shows. This unique work brought together a group of 85 professional artists, students and local community volunteers. An additional show crew of 65 performers, musicians, choir members, operators and backstage technicians worked together to create a visually spectacular theatre work for an audience of approximately 14,000 over four nights.
Balconies folded out of the windows, a huge false wall collapsed, water gushed from the building, and a boat was winched up the façade before it paddled over the audience. The distinctive aesthetic of Dream Masons was defined by engineered spectacle elements, heightened physical performance and lyrical shadow puppetry.
