Tree of Dreams

San Francisco International Arts Festival | May 2025

An immersive, genre-bending theatrical experience, Tree of Dreams combines live music, storytelling, miniature puppetry, and live-video projection to explore themes of fear, growth, resilience, and self-discovery. The show follows a child navigating the challenges of growing up in government housing in Toronto, facing not only the difficulties of family trauma but the broader societal struggles that shape identity and dreams.

60 minutes. Theatre of Yugen at NOHspace, San Francisco.
