SYNOPSIS
Under the dreamless glow of Voleville, hope flickers like a fairy light beneath smog-filled skies. Framed by spires and industrial marvels lies a chilling truth: dreams are now currency.
Leading the city's dream-harvesting syndicate is Sevo, a brilliant mind preserved in a mechanical trolley, his body long gone as he nurtures his prized possession PaSevi. PaSevi is perfect in every way to lead the town - looks, education, and abilities but he lacks creativity, imagination and worse yet, dreams. Despite his impressive resume, Pasevi is completely unable to lead effectively due to what he lacks. Sevo, desperate to sustain him, siphons the dreams of kidnapped orphans who are unwanted residents of the streets of Voleville. With the help of his syndicate of cyborgs and clones they find their efforts growing futile as the children are outsmarting them at every corner. Now they must recruit the worst of the worst to grow their targeted dream-harvesting activities exponentially.
When a young boy is taken, his older brother Avec, a strongman circus performer, begins a desperate search through the underbelly of Voleville. He crosses paths with a beautiful young woman named Sans, a caretaker of street orphans, whom he recruits to help him find his brother. A reluctant alliance forms and blossoms into more as they face the task of freeing little brother.
What unfolds is a visual masterpiece filled with symbolism, humor and an unexpected love story with adventure, sacrifice and climactic performances such as "Chandelier" reimagined like nothing you have ever heard and linger with you long after the curtain calls!
The Dreamers of Voleville is a story of stolen dreams, found family and the unshakable power of love amidst those who would tell you that you're worthless, only to steal your power thanklessly. It provides painfully hilarious symbolism to the evils of corporate management and parallels the heart wrenching relatability we all have be loved by a family.
Featuring bold characters, stunning visuals and amazing choreography with a powerful soundtrack you will be wanting to hear again and again. The audience will leave with a sense of who we are in the rat race, and who we actually have when we feel alone.
