Dreamscape is a captivating and inventively told story, based on the true story of Taisha Miller, a young American woman who was killed by police while unconscious in her car. Told entirely through the language of hip hop culture, both in what is said and how it is said, as well as what we see, Dreamscape tells us a story without telling us all of the exposition. It gives us the story of this young woman, her hopes and dreams, her life….all while allowing us to slowly piece together what has senselessly happened to her.
The merger of language, rhythm, and movement are exceptional, and it performed to perfection by the company. The production is spellbinding and completely compelling — and leaves you reflecting deeply on the news stories of today, where police violence against Black and Brown bodies has not subsided.
This is an absolute must-see — and you still can, when it is up at the Arcola in July & August 2026
