A tribute to one of the most fascinating painters in art history, Bosch Dreams is a contemporary circus set in a surreal world of strange beings and fabulous animals. Immersing the audience in a canvas of realistic projections, the show depicts the supernatural universe of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. Flowing through a string of episodes based on the artist’s life, the performance takes us on a surreal journey throughout the painter’s unique, colourful work, in a display of dozens of characters, contrasting atmospheres and emotions.
