WHAT? An outdoor broadcast of Karen Spencer’s Dream Listener project
WHEN? Tonight, October 19th, between 6pm and 11pm
WHERE? The Park With No Name, near St. Laurent and Van Horne
HOW MUCH? Free!
You might have seen Karen Spencer’s cryptic dreams scattered around town — she’s written them in English, French and Spanish on pieces of cardboard — or you might have read about her blog in Steve Faguy’s weekly blog column in the Gazette. Tonight, though, you’ll get to hear Spencer’s dreams in person.
Dare-Dare, the arts organization located in Mile End’s Park With No Name, will present “Dream listener: an audiobook in three movements” this evening from 6 to 11. It combines excerpts of dreams told to Karen with narration of her own experiences and encounters with people on the street and at the St. James Drop-In Centre. Dare-Dare promises an event that is “by turns poignant, surreal, comic and revelatory, both a document of Karen’s experience and an original composition in itself.” The audiobook will be available at the launch in CD form for a suggested donation of $10, all proceeds going to the St. James Drop-In Centre.
