“Sphoria (from Greek: δύσφορος (dysphoros), δυσ-, difficult, and φέρειν, to bear) forgetfulness: edge of something – out of reach / tip of the tongue – the last type of dreaming.”
Our dreams, are they our own? Do they belong to someone or something else? Is this the real world? What is the access point to parallel realities? We might never know the answers, but questioning is a practice of research to go beyond the visible, the tangible and the security of the objects we rely on everyday. Writer and musician Flora Yin-Wong is a sorcerer of the unknown, and she does so by exploring forms of meditation, oracles, curses, hexagrams, Cantonese traditions, superstitions, and everything that gets entangled into the web between fiction, memory, rituals, and incantation. Now, she invites us on this 2-hours journey into the dream world. What will you remember at your awakening? Will you be awake or still dreaming?
