What if dreams were not just chaotic tumblings of thought, but a 2.0 version of ourselves? Dreams that come up with solutions by tapping into our deep personal archives that otherwise remain inaccessible in waking life.

Within Cells Interlinked was developed in collaboration with the specufictional government-funded entity Premonitions Agency, which collects, analyzes, and even influences citizens’ dreams in order to steer real-world events. The performance follows two Agents as they analyze and intervene in the dream worlds of two Dreamers.

The dreams include a man who marries a complete stranger in front of his entire family while traveling back in time; and a woman who is chosen as a parent by a toddler, only to discover the child changes gender and runs on batteries.

Blending physical, virtual, and imaginary spaces, the piece blurs the boundaries between dream and reality. Themes such as dream logic, quantum mechanics, and control form the basis for a playful exploration of free will, imagination, and—above all—the impact of dreams on our waking lives.

The performance is based on real dreams shared by the artistic team and other dreamers.

Within Cells Interlinked is the first production within LUNARIS, a fictional, performative-cinematic world that intertwines with the ‘real’ world. Over the coming years, this world will be further developed by TILT, in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency. TILT also presents Dream Archive: Live Collection, a participatory dream-collecting performance where the audience can contribute their own dreams to the research.

About the makers

TILT is an Amsterdam-based in-disciplinary arts platform with a focus on the creation and dissemination of performance and visual arts works by choreographer and artist Andrea Božić and visual artist and performance maker Julia Willms, and associate artist - theatre and performance artist Billy Mullaney.

Andrea and Julia have collaborated since 2003 making in-disciplinary works that re-organize space, attention and perception, exploring how spectatorship, imagination and spectacle are intertwined, embodied and felt in the eras of globalism and digitalisation. They work with the larger space and the visitor's presence as part of the work, combining dream logic and gameplay, cosmology, quantum physics, and mysticism to make playful performances and audio-visual installations often in collaboration with the weather and night sky.

Recent works include performances Dream Archive: Live Collection, How To Exit a Reality (Attempt 1 of 19) and PoroCity and the audio-visual installations Looking-Glass House, Civil Twilight, The Cube and Zandloper (Hourglass).

They have presented their work across the performing art and visual art in the Netherlands and internationally, collaborating with partners such as Frascati, SPRING, Oerol, KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, Centre Pompidou Metz, Museum Sinclair House, Reina Sofia Museum, among many others.
