Nathan Crothers & the VOICES: “IN YOUR DREAMS”
“IN YOUR DREAMS” – The first Stand-up Comedy show performed entirely in your dreams.
Nathan Crothers & the Voices transcend the stage, drifting beyond the waking world into the liminal space between sleep and consciousness. Here, comedy takes on new forms, embedding itself in the architecture of your dreams, where reality bends, memory warps, and anything is possible.
“IN YOUR DREAMS” is a bold, boundary-pushing performance where stand-up unfolds not in a theatre, but in the dreamscape of the audience. Blurring the lines between performer and observer, it plays with the fluid nature of spontaneity, memory, and collective experience.
Free from the limits of physical space and linear time, this immersive experiment in comedy exists only in the subconscious—untethered, unconventional, and unforgettable.
About the Artwork “IN YOUR DREAMS”:
IN YOUR DREAMS is an art installation that functions as an intervention, responding to and occupying physical and digital platforms, press releases, and the conversations it generates. The work expands on the nature of exhibition-making and curation, authorship, and audience participation.
As an intervention, it experiments with language, humour, and absurdity as a means of engaging with the personal day-to-day experiences of the public’s private lives. Dreams exist as both private and collectively symbolic spaces, likewise, this installation is an attempt to occupy intra-between* spaces of the subconscious, by subliminally permeating public systems within the gallery itself, i.e. artwork information (the blurb & press release), marketing material/systems, and physical interventions.
This is a work in process, that is currently situated within the year-long artist-in-residence with The MAC (Jan-Dec 2025).
