Last Night I Met You Dreaming
T01837798323
A magical allegory exploring our ambivalent relationship with nature and the dangers of taking too much. Inspired by the magic realism writer Isabel Allende, the activist and playwright Eve Ensler and the journalist Naomi Klein
Last Night I Met You Dreaming is a journey into the wild, a warning and a call for connection. In an absurd mechanical world, where nature is suppressed and speed is king, a journalist has forgotten how to feel. She is charged with writing an article about 'The Region' a lush green place on the verge of collapse. When her editor tries to block the story, supernatural forces intervene, her filing cabinets come to life and she is sucked inside. Here she meets Lola a storyteller and a host of spirits and mavericks who conspire to unravel the story and unlock her heart. ?Last Night I Met You Dreaming' is a tale of passion, resistance, one woman's journey to connection and the individual as a microcosm for the world. It asks how can we look at our animal nature? What is the role of that in our destruction of our only home? Do we shut it out or bring it into the open and choose love despite it all?
