Awaken the senses and stimulating ideas about sleep and dreams through live music and art, scientific stories, and original compositions.

About this event

Sleep is an essential part of the human experience. When sleep is compromised, the body and mind suffer. When it flows, we feel refreshed and clear. Sleep even builds new neural pathways. With sleep comes a rich landscape of dreams that enlighten, frighten, and delve into the bizarre, all swirling in our subconscious. Sleep and dreams come alive in music, art, and storytelling—from lullabies to visual masterpieces to personal accounts of epiphanies.
