Through evocative visuals, transformed everyday objects, and original live music, Tree of Dreams explores what it means to keep dreaming when circumstances tell you not to and how imagination can become an act of survival.
Created by Duane Forrest in collaboration with artists behind the Edinburgh Fringe 2024 sell-out shows Book of Dew and Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed the World, Tree of Dreams offers a visually rich and emotionally resonant journey where reality and inner worlds blur.
