DREAM DELIVERY SERVICE: A dedicated team of workers in white-collar shirts and ties assemble each night for a serious purpose: to create and deliver dreams to an unseen Dreamer. Using old-school overhead projectors, fax machines, Xerox copies, and other analog technologies, they create handmade visions that beguile, enchant, frighten, and captivate. But as the night goes on, the Dreamer begins to lose their ability to dream, and the dream-workers find themselves threatened by a powerful new technology. Combining puppetry, projection, physical theater, clowning, and spectacle, Dream Delivery Service is a live cinematic experience about the power of the human connection.
Manual Cinema is an Emmy Award-winning performance collective, design studio, and film/video production company who combines handmade shadow puppetry, cinematic techniques, and innovative sound and music to create immersive stories for stage and screen. Using vintage overhead projectors, multiple screens, puppets, actors, live feed cameras, multi-channel sound design, and live music, Manual Cinema transforms the experience of attending the cinema and imbues it with liveness, ingenuity, and theatricality.
