At the close of 2025, the ∞therside collective gathered in Ferrara to develop their new work, DREAMS AND STONES, in the enchanting Artificio studio. In January 2026, the collective continued their creative journey in Thessaloniki, where a deepening workshop with Julyen Hamilton about the performing element and a first glimpse of the piece marked the inspiring next steps.
DREAMS AND STONES
A whole life inside the walls of this house full of strangers
I will play like a kid in an empty room
People are fragments
Foundation and dreams
Dreams and stones
The six performers create a living, constantly changing architecture that is home to stories, poetry, atmospheres and emotions. Space and time form the foundation, while contemporary dance, live music and spoken theatre are the building blocks. The performers use these materials to create dynamic structures that speak directly to the audience while remaining permeable to individual associations.
