About the Project:
In the Spring of 2016, Cosmic Orchid produced the inaugural cycle of its signature production, The Voire Dire Project. Through Integrative Theatre, four theatrical teams each developed a one-act play inspired by a separate work of visual art (all paintings). This production is a reincarnation of those plays, revised and developed - casting actors in different roles, and integrating the creative teams of each play. In addition to the performances, the Dream Up Festival includes a full curation of the art work in the gallery adjacent to the theatre where the plays are performed. The inspiration continues with a metamorphosis of the performance, and a new vision of the project - a moving audience experience!
